Mark Langford Blasts Off With “Artemis Too” Music Video
Longtime Revolt In Style friend Mark Langford has officially launched his new music video, “Artemis Too,” and this one does not just leave the station – it leaves the planet.
A rock and roll experiment in instrumental music, “Artemis Too” is a celebration of Mark’s excellence as a player: fat riffs, big tone, fearless creativity, and the kind of six-string command that does not need a lyric sheet to make its point. Mark is a true guitar virtuoso, and this video gives his playing the kind of strange, spacebound playground it deserves.
If Mark looks familiar, many will remember him from his live performances at the Revolt Summer Surf Series, where he brought a classic rock and roll soundtrack, great energy, and real musician legitimacy to the competitions. If you were there back in the day, there is a good chance you caught Mark tearing it up live on the beach or high above the action in the judges’ risers.
In the new video, Mark is a little harder to recognize at first. His space helmet is fogged up for most of the ride, which makes the reveal at the end even better. But even before the visor clears, the attitude is all there.
“Artemis Too” follows Mark blasting off from Earth, blowing past the International Space Station, landing on the moon, and somehow ending up behind the wheel of a tractor on the lunar surface. Is it a modest-budget nod to the original MTV-era music videos? Absolutely. Is that part of the charm? One hundred percent.
This is not some over-polished, committee-approved music industry package. It is weird, fun, self-aware, and completely Mark.
And that is the point.
Mark Langford has never been easy to box in. His career has moved through rock, acoustic, classical, flamenco, heavy metal, and just about every musical side road worth taking. Long before “Artemis Too,” he founded Kreation, joined San Diego’s Ruckus, stepped in as lead guitarist for Enforcer, and later worked with heavy acts including QuestHaven and Bible Black, sharing stages with bands such as Slayer, Stryper, Poison, and Icon. His résumé also includes projects such as The Ravells, Danse Macabre, and Yesterdaze, while recent recordings have connected him with players from Oingo Boingo, the Elvin Bishop Group, the Steve Miller Band, the Greg Kihn Band, and Richie Furay’s circle.
That range is exactly what makes “Artemis Too” work. It feels like a veteran musician doing what veteran musicians should do more often: chasing the idea, following the riff, having some fun, and letting the guitar lead the mission.
There is no fake cool here. No forced trend. No algorithm-bait nonsense. Just a gifted guitarist, a driving drum track, a space helmet, a lunar tractor, and a song that reminds you Mark Langford can still light the fuse.
Watch “Artemis Too” and support a longtime Revolt In Style friend who is still out there making noise, making art, and apparently farming the moon.
Incidentally, Mark Langford is also the founder and main man behind the infamous
