Toronto punks Dilly Dally are set to release debut album 'Sore' on October 9th, with the band unveiling a number of previews.
New track 'Purple Rage' is online now, and it's a rage-fuelled slice of alt rock sluiced through with a 90s flavour. The accompanying visuals feature singer Katie Monks dressed in a monster costume, and captures the all too real reactions of passers-by.
"Rage is a very surreal, and grotesque emotion, so for the video we wanted my character to embody that," explains the band's Katie Monks. "The costume was miserable to wear. It felt heavy, cold, and wet. Whizzing was a nightmare, and I was attracting allot of bugs once we got to the swamp."
"What I was amazed with was the huge amount of people who kept trying to interrupt what we were trying to do. I stopped being another human being walking around downtown Toronto, I became an invitation for mean comments, dirty looks, terrible jokes, horrible screams, the list goes on. This video captures some of those moments, and tells a story about a gross monster who just doesn't fit in."
