In early December, we premiered the latest video from OTP (Outside the Philth) featuring Shilo Staniech. The video was released in association with The Yea and was filmed over the better part of the year by Buck Milliken and Matt Patterson. Following the release of the video, Matt Loughead conducted a follow-up Q&A segment for the site which you can check out after the jump.

As we approach the end of the year, it’s time once again to kick off our series of year end posts. Every year, we publish a long list of videos on this site. In the fast paced environment that is the internet they are here one minute and archived the next. But before we close the door on 2016, it’s time to take a look back at some of the videos that we felt made the strongest impression on our viewers and the scene as a whole. The list is in no particular order and is not based off of any web statistics or analytics. With that in mind, we invite you to sit back, re-watch and enjoy.
