Essex indie rock/punk three-piece Bilk have revealed their new single “Summer Days“ and its accompanying video.

Commenting on the album, frontman Sol Abrahams said: “The album sums up where I’m at in my life at the moment which is everything from being in a band to partying, relationships, love, drugs, sex and a load of stories and experiences I’ve picked up and written about along the way. I think it’s the most exciting thing about in band music right now.”
Of the new single, he says: “I never really wrote love songs but my girlfriend said I need to stop writing songs about drugs and being a rock star and smoking and write a song about her so here ya go. I’ve gone all soft. “
The video was shot and directed by Sol and his girlfriend Beatriz in Brighton with a cam corder. Watch it now.
