Godsticks release new music video for ‘Relief’

GODSTICKS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Relief, is taken from the band’s latest studio album, Inescapable, which was released back in Feburary.

The new music video was filmed during lockdown and inspired by their yearning to get back on the road playing to real life audiences.

Speaking about the rationale behind the new music video, singer and guitarist Darran Charles says, “like all musicians at the moment, we’re desperate for normality to resume so that we can play live once again. So, to compensate we’ve recorded a virtual live performance from the comfort of our home studios. It’s of course no substitute to being physically on stage, but thanks to some technological wizardry, we can invite you to watch us perform Relief from our new record, and perhaps also set a record for playing the most venues in five minutes and two seconds!

Some of these are well loved local and national venues that we’ve enjoyed playing at over the years, while others are representative of our ambitions and dreams! With concerts likely to be a significant time away from resuming, the survival of live venues and festivals around the world is under threat. Fortunately, there are organisations set up to try and prevent this from happening; organisations such as https://saveourvenues.co.uk. We have put a list of some of our favourite venues and festivals on our website, some of whom need your support more than ever, and some who have had to set up crowdfunding campaigns. Of course, there are countless industries struggling at the moment, but this is ours, and in order for live music to resume in the future then we’ll need our favourite venues to remain in existence!”
