North West Band Premiere ‘North Shore’ Video Ahead Of UK Tour Dates (below)
Following a premiere on Rock Sound yesterday, North-West based UK punk/hardcore band Scouts are today sharing the brand new video for ‘(Please Don’t Take Me Back To) North Shore‘ taken from their new EP ‘Why Do My Friends Have To Live Around Here?’ out now on limited edition 7″ vinyl via Thanks For Nothing Records.
Watch and share the video here:
Like all their previous material, the stark black and white video was a DIY affair shot and directed by Scouts and Me Vs Hero member Bobby Pook on location in the Northern band’s headquarters of Blackpool and featuring a cast of band members and friends.
“Paul wrote this song about a place I used to live when we had our first band practice last year” says Bobby of the single “It’s a horrible part of Blackpool called North Shore, everyone has tattooed faces and there are drug raids tall the time, grim.”
“Without even realising it we just happened to write a whole EP about the places we all live in” adds guitarist Paul Barrow “They’re pretty bad, but we love them all the same, kinda. I mean, we might love them. Who knows?”
Scouts celebrated the recent release of the vinyl with a special free entry EP launch party at Maguire’s Pizza Parlour in Liverpool, with support from friends in Falls, Salem Rages and Boston Manor and will return to the city on 19th October at Korova as part of their forthcoming 3 date weekender. Welsh friends Hot Damn have sadly had to pull out of these dates.
The band are currently working on another 5 track EP slated for a spring 2014 release and are set to announce further UK tour dates and support slots for winter this year.
