Miss Vincent release new music video for ‘Melanie’

MISS VINCENT have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Melanie, is the latest single from the British punk rockers and arrives as the band prepare for their supporting role to CREEPER‘s Reading & Leeds Festival warm-up shows!

Speaking about the track and its accompanying music video, vocalist and guitarist Alex Marshal says, “Melanie is a song that came together really quickly. I’ve always loved 50s rock’n’roll, and one of my favourite elements of that era is the immediacy of the songs, which is something we really wanted to come across on this track. For the video, I cast my mind around to stories of loss. One of my favourite films (and comics) is V for Vendetta, and the story of Valerie’s Letter is one of my favourite scenes of all time. It’s incredibly harrowing, and it’s always stuck with me. That was the basis for the premise behind the video – to take that narrative as a reference point, and to build our own from it. That was the basis for the premise behind the video – to take both those two narratives as a reference point, and to build our own from it. The narrative allows for a fair bit of viewer interpretation, which is cool. I know exactly how we see it, but I think it’s almost better that people can take their own meaning from it.”

As mentioned, MISS VINCENT will hit the road in supporting CREEPER in their preparation for their festival performances at Reading & Leeds Festival. Speaking about the upcoming shows, Marshal continues, “we’re stoked to be joining CREEPER on the road! They’re a great band and rad people. We’ve been talking about doing shows together for the longest time, so it’s great that we get to head out for a few dates together. The rooms are pretty intimate by their standards, so we’re expecting to witness some carnage each night. For us, it’s a great chance to get in front of some new people and show them what we’re all about. Having a new song out for the shows is really exciting too, as we’ve been locked away for a while creating what’s coming next, and this is the first taste of it.”

Tour dates are as follows: 

20th Aug – Dover Booking Hall
21st Aug – Leicester Dryden St. Social
22nd Aug – Stoke Sugarmill
