PREMIERE: National Pride – Smiling Assassin

We here at Distorted Sound are delighted to premiere the brand new music video from SMILING ASSASSIN!

The new music video, for the track National Pride, is taken from the band’s upcoming debut album, Plight Of The Millennial, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new song vocalist George Garnett explains, National Pride is a song for people who take patriotism too seriously. A hard-hitting tune with a simple message and big riffs.” Guitarist Josh Rogerson expands,
National Pride is a commentary on some pretty serious issues we’re facing in Britain, such as a certain group that’s currently in power… But yeah, it’s a cracking tune!”

The new music video was the latest victim of COVID-19, having had a slick official video shoot side-lined led to the band going through all their footage and piecing together a chronology of their time together. Speaking about the video, drummer Robbie Johnson, who created the montage video, says, “the current situation sucks and it would have been awesome to release our originally planned video. But I actually had so much fun editing this one! I’m constantly filming whatever we get up to and to be able to go through all the footage since we started this band a little under a year ago and see the journey and how far we’ve come was pretty special. I’m honoured to be a part of this and to be amongst such close and inspiring friends.”

Plight Of The Millennial is set for release on May 31st via self-release.
