Had Sandy release new music video for ‘I Hate My Parents And I Wanna Learn How To Swim’

HAD SANDY have released a new music video!

The Brighton emo outfit have unveiled I Hate My Parents And I Wanna Learn How To Swim, their latest single released via Sugar-Free Records. The track arrives alongside a brand new music video filmed by Harrison Milton and edited by Elliott Scambler.

Speaking about the track, vocalist and guitarist Jude Allenby shares, “the title actually means something entirely different to the lyrical content of the song, but accurately paints a nostalgic picture of teen angst and the innocence of a misunderstood kid. However, the lyrics sit somewhere between smoking cigarettes to try fit in, and frustration with contrasting feelings in a relationship – all in all, the essence of being a teenager – and the song tells this musical story. I love the idea that someone’s nostalgia can be someone else’s present fixation. We’ve had a few people saying that our songs ‘make them feel 16 again’, and that’s what this song is meant for.”

The release arrives as the band continue a run of DIY live dates with PROM alongside an appearance at Burn It Down Festival. True to the band’s independent ethos, everything except the drums was recorded in vocalist Jude Allenby and keyboardist Tash O’Flynn‘s basement flat in Brighton, with Allenby also handling engineering, mixing and mastering duties.
