Haggard Cat release new music video for ‘European Hardware’

HAGGARD CAT have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track European Hardware, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Common Sense Holiday which is scheduled to be released in March next year.

The idea behind the new music video came from the band wanting to make a statement on the general frustrations they feel at the moment with the political climate, apathy towards making real change as well as highlighting movements like Extinction Rebellion (with who they created a special album pre-order T-shirt for, with 100% of the profits going to the ER cause).

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, guitarist and vocalist Matt Reynolds says, “it’s basically our take on the classic three minute long punk thrasher. The lyrics satirise our current political climate, where the actions and decisions seem to be entirely driven by self and ego. The song describes a desire to escape it all and channels all our frustrations into a sing-along mantra for the downtrodden. Just over a month ago we sealed ourselves in a concrete catacomb for 24 hours. The video itself documents the whole thing, it’s all real, we actually stayed in there for the duration and live-streamed the whole thing, it was hell! We did this to visually represent what we’re talking about in the song, in order to hopefully get a few more of you talking about how detrimental the current political path we’re on will be to every one of us (well those of us who aren’t billionaires, or millionaires working for the billionaires).”
