Candid Faces Unleash "Coming Home" Music Video

Hull post punk/trash pop band Candid Faces have unleashed the video for their newest single “Coming Home“.

The track, produced at Hull University’s in-house studio by Tom Foston from Hull based band The Avenues, is a raw and vibrant slice of post-punk that lyrically touches on abusive parental relationships, themes of bigotry and dealing with such issues as a young person.

An incessant post-punk guitar hook starts things off before punchy drums kick in and lead to seemingly witty lyrics from the spirited vocals of Liz Shaw about an imaginary anti-social bloke – but these soon develop into an uneasy diatribe about one individual known by the band.

Liz explains: “It may seem like a fun jokey track that pokes fun at bigots and abusers but for our guitarist it was a healing process and a way for them to write about difficult experiences from their childhood, even if it was just an ambiguous four lines”.

Candid Faces “Coming Home”
Lyrics:

Tony doesn’t shut his gob
Compensating for his small brain
And various other things, another one that you can’t fix

Sometimes when I’m sat at home
I think to myself what a curious world we’re living in

I know you hate us
Why don’t you just leave us alone
You’re such a dreadful mix! (x3)
(I’m a dreadful mix)

Frank loves his cold cider, Frank loves his local rugby
Frank claims he loves his kids
Infact, he hates them really
Sometimes when I’m sat at home

I think to myself what a terrible world we’re living in

I know you hate us
Why don’t you just leave us alone
You’re such a dreadful mix! (x3)
(I’m a dreadful mix)
