Gloo release new music video for ‘Pissheads’

GLOO have released a brand new music video!

The video, for the track Pissheads, is taken from the band’s debut album A Pathetic Youth, which is set for release in July. The new album was recorded at Smalltown American Studios in Derry, Northern Ireland. Speaking about the track, vocalist Tom Harfield says, “I was walking home from work, and happened to catch an argument between two blokes in the middle of the town who were shouting ‘pisshead’ at each other like no one was watching – it got the word stuck in my head. Once out of ear shot I voice memoed the first melody that came to mind, which is the chorus you hear on this track now. It’s more of a commentary, noticing how everyone I know seems to get fucked up at any given opportunity. It seemed relatable – I thought it was cool to having a track about getting pissed!” 

Speaking about the video, drummer Mark Harfield adds, “about two years ago we bought the puppet just because of how fucking ridiculous it looked. We had no intention of using it for anything other than to fuck about with when we were bored! When we decided to do a video for Pissheads, it would have been criminal for him not to feature. With the good help of our friends Sonny (a pro set designer) and Verity (a pro puppeteer) we managed to bring him to life. There’s not much more to the meaning, other than the music being able to temporarily take him away from his shitty situation. The song and video make him feel real good, and forget about all his problems, then when it ends, he’s the same person with the same problems in the same situation”
