London pop-punkers RudeGRL + CC have unveiled a new single and video.
Comprising singer-songwriter Jenna Dickens alias RudeGRL, multi-instrumentalist Chris Constantinou (The Wolfmen, The Mutants, Adam Ant) and burlesque star Bunni Morretto, the trio have shared 'Coming For The Win' as the first single from forthcoming album Living My Best Life.
Jenna describes the track as “a warning. We are coming to do exactly what it says on the song title, and we won’t stop until we get there.”
“For the single’s video, the main idea I kept thinking was ‘what would I have loved to see growing up as a mixed-race kid in love with rock and punk?’," she continues. "Back then there wasn’t as much representation of people of colour in bands on our TV screens. I’d watch iconic bands I admired like Slipknot, Papa Roach, Blink 182, Linkin Park and see the odd one or two people of colour and just wish that there were more. I wanted to play on those aesthetics of the indie videos a bit that I loved growing up and also show our unique personalities as a band and what we’re all into. I was reminiscing over the old Tony Hawk’s video games I used to play as a kid on my PlayStation 2 and the awesome bands of the 90’s and noughties growing up as a kid like Blink 182, Limp Bizkit and No Doubt and wanted to bring in a bit of that vibe visually but in a fresh new way and make something that we all love and feels authentic to who we are as a band.”
Living My Best Life is out on 17 October through Network Music.
