SPLIT DOGS drop another video ahead of a busy summer of shows.
The bovver-rocking shoutalong 'Be Somebody' is taken from the West Country band's new album Nice N' Rough, which is due out on 25th September through Venn Records.
“'Believe Nobody, Deceive Nobody'; rules we live by,” says singer Harry. “The new single is a call to arms, a shot at anyone stuck on the sidelines, letting life pass them by. This song tells you not to be the version of yourself that keeps waiting for life to happen. Get out there and go get yours! Stay sworn to fun and loyal to none.”
The video was shot at the 49 Social Club in Weston-super-Mare, where Harry has been propping up the bar for years. “I have always loved the space," she says, "and something about the workies just reminds me of home. I wanted to shoot a music video there and invite our mates. We put on a decent spread of sausage rolls and cheese and pineapple on sticks, hired Elvis to perform a set and had a good old knees up. The vibe was Martin Parr meets David Lynch. The music video is a love letter to our community. Loud, brash, sweaty and unapologetically alive! Up the Punx!"
As previously announced, the band have a busy summer ahead of them, kicking off with a spot at Download next month, followed by a wave of European shows. They return for more festivals, including Rebellion and Beautiful Days, and two shows with Gogol Bordello. They then play a bunch of instores around the album release, followed by a major EU tour as guests of Danko Jones. Phew!
