Music videos

edit

The first video was shot for "In My Car" in Los Angeles by famed director Dale "Rage" Resteghini. The second video was shot on December 13, 2007, in New York for "I Look Good".

Other videos off the album include music videos for "Vans" and "I'm Shinin'", shot previously to help promote the Skateboards 2 Scrapers EP. A low budget music video was also shot for "Booty Bounce Bopper".

Sales

edit

Even though their first EP Skateboards 2 Scrapers received fairly good sale reception, their debut album Based Boys failed to do so. The album sold a disappointing 2,300 copies in its first week according to Soundscan and Billboard.[3] The album peaked at #14 on Billboard's Heatseeker chart.
