We have two new videos on MusicDish TV this week! First is a music video from Montreal rockers Insurgent Inc. for their song "Atheistic Affidavit". "'Atheistic Affadavit' is a breath of fresh air in today's often-stale music world and is definitely a must-see video, even if it may disturb some of its viewers."

Second is a music video from Canadian singer-songwriter Marcomé for her song "Yeku From Seven Seas". "With a brilliant opening harmony reminiscent of classic ABBA, 'Yeku from Seven Seas' quickly transforms into an all-powerful source of meditation: Marcome succeeds in healing listeners with glorious vocals and profound keyboard skills."
