Cheerful Manc punks AERIAL SALAD are back with another new single and video.
'King Of The Grass' is taken from the trio's new EP Roi de l’herbe which is out through Venn Records this Friday.
An affectionate tribute to the band's bassist Mike ‘Wimbo’ Wimbleton, guitarist/vocalist Jamie Munro says “He is truly one of Manchester’s most treasured musicians, genuinely, most people that know Wimbo would take a bullet for him, the same can't be said for some other 'so-called-legends' - no one I know is taking a physical bullet for Noel Gallagher after coughing up the best part of 300 quid to see him.
“Anyways, musical, mythical or moderate legend Mike Wimbo works at the council to help us pay for things like this EP and this music video, it's a horrible job some days when it's crashing down with rain and he's picking up dead cats off pavements, but he has a positivity and enthusiasm for not letting "the bastards" grind him down, it's inspiring, in a lot of ways, we all have our own grass, that looming dark cloud that comes to haunt your Sunday evenings, but fuck it, he's the king of the grass our Mike, go be the king of your own grass, it's now or never.”
Available on limited edition 12" vinyl, Roi de l’herbe is available to pre-order here.
