Blank Atlas release new music video for ‘No Good’
BLANK ATLAS have released a new music video!
The Bristol alternative rock trio have unveiled No Good, their latest single and the first taste of their upcoming sophomore album, which will follow 2023’s Dawn Chorus.
Accompanying the release is a new music video directed by Elliot Withers of Lion Island, which follows drummer Tom Thould as he gets fired from a series of jobs for being, quite literally, “no good” at any of them.
Speaking about the new single, drummer and vocalist Tom Thould shares, “the song was actually inspired after watching an episode of Love Island. A lot of the people on the show will always say someone’s No Good when they’ve been done dirty. I thought that’d be a fun little lyric work into a song. The song came pretty quickly after that, so we’ve got Love Island to thank for that one! I also really like the chords we used for this one which was inspired by bands like LOWER THAN ATLANTIS (RIP). I also recorded the drums for this with a sprained ankle, so that was fun!”
Guitarist and vocalist Dan Thould adds, “we’ve been so excited to finally release this one. We sneakily played it for the first time at our acoustic set at 2000trees Festival this year, and it went down really well! It’s no secret that we have an affinity with Trees, so getting to play it to all the lovely people there was such a treat, and just made us even more excited to finally release it.”
Bassist and vocalist Chris Simpson says, “we really enjoyed getting this video together. We wanted to do another tongue in cheek video again, as we hadn’t done one since the video for Better Off Dead which was four years ago now! I played a grumpy boss at an office, which was fun to play, although it was super hard trying to get through that without laughing. Safe to say it took quite a few takes, but we got there in the end. Can’t wait for everyone to see it!”
