Old UK Rock Band Pose as Teenagers In Latest Video
www.yahoo.com

LONDON (Reuters) - An aging UK rock group gave themselves a facelift by getting a group of teenagers to stand in for them on the video of their latest song, helping them score their first chart hit for some 15 years.



Convinced the music industry is prejudiced against wrinkly rockers, The Alarm gave themselves the pseudonym The Poppyfields and persuaded a group of fresh-faced youths to mime their part.


"They did it to show they wanted to be judged on music and not on their image and haircuts of 15 years ago," said a spokesman for the band.


The single, 45RPM, went into the UK charts this week at number 28.


The Welsh band were previously best known for 1983 hit "68 guns" and said they pulled the stunt to show how much image affected sales in the music industry.

For those who don't remember Downers Revenge, you may remember some of their earlier hits (under a previous name)

They didn't get teenage doubles, but they released a song from their upcoming record ("Corporate America") under the name Downers Revenge. It was seriously hot on Mp3.com. There was even some hype that the band followed in the footsteps of Rage Against the Machine.

Some of their other hits?
