Demob Happy don't like to take things too seriously.
Sure, the band work hard – just check out their tour schedule – but that doesn't mean they can't unwind now and again.
Focussing on new track 'Young & Numb', the group found themselves recording in a desolate country cottage.
Left to their own devices, Demob Happy swiftly put farmyard tools and gallons of fake blood to good use.
Shooting their own video, the band entertained themselves and scared the living daylights out of passers-by.
“We were out in this spooky cottage writing hits and it gave us all culty vibes”, frontman Matt Marcantonio explains. “We didn't have to pretend much considering we were stranded in nowheresville, and that's how every horror film starts.”
“I'm glad to be out of there now, it got a bit cabin feverish and the video set the tone in our brains kinda weird. The woman who owned the cottage came to visit when Mat was getting chain-sawed and she nearly died herself! She thought we got mixed up in some drug deal gone bad, but it was just innocent maiming that's all. I don't know if the video fits with what the songs about, maybe the killer is our comeuppance and we're martyrs, or maybe it's just fucking funny.”
Watch it now.
