Melbourne, Australia based punk band, Press Club, have released the official music video for their single “Thinking About You”. Fans can check out the video here: http://bit.ly/2GIaG2w
“The idea for the ‘Thinking About You’ video clip came to me as we touched down from a 20 plus hour transit home from our first European tour in May this year,” explains guitarist Greg Rietwyk. I pictured a surreal retelling of the story of a stalking stranger that is told within the song lyrics, with Nat being tormented by masked freaks. We enlisted the help of our good friend and filmmaker Gina Somfleth from Popcandi productions. We are all massive fans of Gina’s keen eye for cinematography.
“It was shot on location at Nat’s parents farm outside of Ballarat in North Western, Victoria,” he continues. “We particularly enjoyed being able to feed our inner pyromaniacs in what was to become the climax of the film. We’ve thrown a few DIY festivals at the farm where it was shot so the location holds a special place in our collective hearts”
Vocalist Natalie Foster adds, “I was getting deep into stranger things around the time of this video. Standing by the fire, channeling Eleven.”
The song is taken from Press Club’s highly anticipated new album Wasted Energy, which will be released on August 16. The track has been met with critical praise and grabbed add’s on some of Spotify’s biggest rock charts – New Noise, Fierce Femmes and All-New Rock.
Marked out as a band to keep an eye out for very early on, their music was singled out for its honesty and integrity, and the band praised for their powerhouse live performances.
Wasted Energy is the follow up to the band’s wildly successful debut, Late Teens. Press Club’s sonic calling cards are all present on the new album; the fuzz-addled, kicked-in speaker bass of Iain MacRae, the thick guitar tones of Greg Rietwyk, the merciless drumming of Frank Lees, and the emotionally charged vocal deliverance of Natalie Foster. The new album is now available for pre-order here: https://pressclub.bandcamp.com/
The band will embark on their biggest UK headline tour to date, including performances at Reading & Leeds Festivals after an overwhelmingly successful tour earlier this year that included sold out shows in London, Zurich and Edinburgh as well as festivals like Manchester Punk Festival, Liverpool Sounds City, The Great Escape and Belgium’s Groezrock.
