The second single and title track from Bipolar Empire album ‘Feel That You Own It’. The band enlisted the help of legendary director Kevin Godley (U2, Blur) to shoot the video. They decided to focus on the uplifting and positive vibe of the track, and approached Irish Champion boxer Katie Taylor to take part.

Speaking on the video, Kevin Godley says; ‘On screen Bipolar Empire and Katie Taylor symbolise a young and forgotten generation venting their anger and frustration against the system that created the mess Ireland is in right now. It's rooted here because the music grew here but it mirrors the bigger picture of global upheaval currently playing out on the streets of Egypt, Tunisia, and Iran etc. It also looks beyond the fight to the triumph of dreams and goals over fear and apathy and suggests a positive force for change.  Both the song and video for 'Feel That You Own It' are trying to spread that positive message.’

Trip Around The World

Open Our Minds

A lively dance, rock beat, that portrays the aftermath of a night to forget... 
Video directed by Kevin Godley, assisted by Simon Keenan and edited by Eoin McDonagh. 
Shot in Grouse Lodge Studios, Ireland. 
Special thanks to The Production Depot Ltd.

Kevin Godley - 'Working with Bipolar Empire was liberating. Great band, great song, no schedule, no time, no money. The shoot was fuelled by adrenaline and the germ of an idea - Shoot band with 6 cameras mounted to something that doesn't exist yet. 
I like to put musicians in unfamiliar situations, and this was no exception. Each guy had to perform to 6 Flip cameras and iphones taped to a lash up multi - arm crucifix-like device made from bits of plumbing acquired at Woodies the day before. Dubbed 'The Manycam' I shot about 8 takes and went home with hand cramps, double vision and hours of God knows what on a hard drive... They probably went out partying.
The result can be seen on You Tube. Go there right now to get your ears and eyes fried - in a good way'.

What the critics say:
 
“..it would take a brave soul indeed not to wager on Bipolar Empire following fellow Dubliners The Script into the big league.  ...This is a band to watch.”  Irish Independent
 
“Hotly tipped as one of the new Irish groups most likely to make it big on the international scene.  Their debut album… is simply a knockout.”   Sunday World 
 
“Not since the heyday of U2… has there been an Irish band that has so unashamedly taken it to the audience rather than the other way around” Hot Press
 
“Make no mistake, this is a band with vision.”  The Star 
 
“Unapologetically radio-friendly”  The Irish Times
 
“Highly impressive.”      Daily Mail on Sunday
