Southampton, UK indie rock / indie pop band Welly have shared the video for their latest single “It’s Not Like This In France”.
The song, written and produced by Elliot Hall, is taken from their debut album “Big in the Suburbs“, released last month, March 31. Get your copy here if you haven’t already.
Speaking about it, Welly explains: “It could be worse, right? Neither a flag-shagger’s anthem, nor a sarcastic taunt of British life, this song is, if anything, a retaliation to the one-dimensional slagging of Britain we hear in so many dull punk songs at the moment. Yeah things are bad, but I listen to music for a different reason.”
“It’s an agnostic, ‘It Could Be Worse’ singalong. It ain’t pretty, but it’s ours. It’s Not Like This In France, but it’s not like this anywhere, really. It’s not better; it’s not worse. What’s good is that it’s ours. We know the neighbour, the bloke in the corner shop, our work colleagues, a grandparent. This is what’s important. This is what the whole album is about. Look up your own street first, before down your nose, or through a telescope or telephone screen.”
