October Drift Air New Single/Video "Tyrannosaurus Wreck"

Taunton indie rock/alt four-piece October Drift have aired their new single “Tyrannosaurus Wreck” and its accompanying video.

The track is another glimpse into their upcoming third album ‘Blame The Young‘, due to be released on September 27th via Physical Education Recordings. Pre-order your copy here.

On Blame The Young, Kiran Roy (vocals/guitar), Alex Bispham (bass), Chris Holmes (drums/vocals), Dan Young (guitar) have created an imposing record, full of powerful songs which for the band are their most personal yet. However, these songs are also universal, immediately captivating on a wider level spearheaded by Roy’s deft inclusive songwriting alongside the band’s infectious riffs, hooks and harmonies that run throughout the new record.

‘Tyrannosaurus Wreck’ mixes refreshing dark humour with soaring alt-rock energy, it reflects the challenges of relationships in the unstable world of music. Frontman and guitarist Kiran Roy, explains:

“It’s about a relationship breakdown and the balance of life within this band and life outside of it. It’s like saying I’m a huge fucking disaster. It’s kind of silly, it has a tragic sort of self-awareness, making light of quite heavy themes.”

Of the video, filmed and directed by the band, Kiran says: 

“I thought it would be a cool concept but I’d pictured it being an actor or someone else in the dinosaur suit. I’m not sure how they did it but the band somehow convinced me to put on the dino suit and drag myself through a little southwest town with the guys filming me. It was a super hot day so it was hard work in the onesie, but I just had to keep reminding myself it was better than shooting the video for our single ‘Waltzer’ when I had water poured over my head for the entire thing at early morning sunrise. The ‘Tyrannosaurus Wreck’ video is kind of silly, but that suits the whole song, both kind of make light of a tragedy.”
