The Bay Rays don't hold back.
With them, it's all or nothing. So live sets consist of blood, sweat, and tears – preferably their own, but occasionally other people's.
New single 'New Home' takes things a little deeper, with The Bay Rays focussing on a rather hard time in their lives.
Frontman Harry Nicoll explains: “I wrote this song at quite a tough time in my life, I was skint and living above a pub I was working and living in but I was asked to move out and had nowhere to go. I felt trapped by society with no options or prospects and by how it is nigh on impossible to make ends meat. This song was written as escapism from that feeling. The falsetto glam style vocal in the chorus was used to sound more sarcastic and a bit of an ‘ah well shit happens’ tone. With the video we wanted to replicate this visually and had this idea of a guy coming home from work, putting the tune on and just dancing around to forget about his troubles and the monotony of his everyday life.”
Clash has nabbed the video premiere, and it's a genuinely thrilling, infectious, visceral watch. Tune in now.
