Massive Wagons release new music video for ‘Please Stay Calm’
MASSIVE WAGONS have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Please Stay Calm, is taken from the British rock band’s upcoming album TRIGGERED!, which is scheduled to be released later this month via Earache Records.
Speaking about the new song, frontman Barry ‘Baz’ Mills explains, “PLEASE STAY CALM… The song is about being on a pedestal, and being expected to act a certain way; about putting on a face or a front to deal with this life created by being in a band, or any job where you’re in the public eye; having to create a character to deal with life day to day. It’s about losing the plot and crumbling under the stress of being someone else, brought about by outside pressures. The track is dark and humorous, I’m taking the piss out of myself. It’s a sarcastic take on my life being this pathetic attempt at what people think I am, but underneath that the message is quite dark.”
On the video, Mills adds, “Mega experience on a boat, I really can’t complain about the day we spent shooting it! The last time I was on a boat I probably had a fishing rod over the side… We wanted a totally unique backdrop for this single. Digby, Earache Records‘ head honcho, actually came up with the concept, he had this vision of a luxury boat at sea with us lounging around drinking beers and generally having an all round bloody jolly time! We loved the idea. We live on the coast and close to the Lake District, so the water is something we really connect with; getting out on the water just seemed like a natural environment, and the backdrop of the Isle of Wight was just different enough to set it apart.”
He continues: “We added the theme within the video, basically myself and the lads embarking on a day to be enjoyed and as usual there’s always one dickhead who takes it too far and ends up ruining it for everyone (and it’s not always me, I might add! I just happened to look the best in giant shoes). But the video points to a bigger problem: sometimes this kinda behaviour is a front for other issues. Keep an eye on ya mates, you never know when you might be needed.”
