Los Angeles modern rock band The Exies recently completed their new album A Modern Way of Living with the Truth. The album was produced by James Michael (Mötley Crüe, Duran Duran, Camp Freddie) and is due out in stores on April 10th, 2007 through Eleven Seven Music (label's first release was Buckcherry which recently went gold). A Modern Way of Living with the Truth reflects the band's inner torment and ways of dealing with the uncertainty of the modern world.

The Exies decided to create a music video for the classic Talking Heads track "Once In A Lifetime" because they felt the song embodied the essence of their record that at it's core is existential in nature.

Scott Stevens from The Exies comments, "The 'Once in a Lifetime' video is about rising above the past and moving on through life's pain, suffering, love, and joy. Many people get caught up along life's journey and pine for a period in their lives when they were happiest - full of hope, love, and friendship. However, these things are fleeting and ever changing. This is a video of everything that we are that binds us and penetrates us and brings us together. It is love, loss, empathy, and shame that in the end, leads us to our own personal truth."

The Exies first two studio albums (Inertia and Head for the Door, Virgin) have yielded such hit songs as "Ugly" and "My Goddess." The band has been touring for the last two years with bands like Breaking Benjamin, 30 Seconds to Mars, The Used, Sparta, Evanescence and Mötley Crüe.
