The K’s release new music video for ‘The Bends (Here We Go Again)’

THE K’S have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Bends (Here We Go Again), is the brand new single from the Merseyside-based alternative rock band and follows on from their previous single, Gravestone, which was released back in March.

Speaking about the new single, vocalist Jamie Boyle says, “throughout my adolescence, I spent a lot of time in hospital, most of it without any clear answers as to why my health was getting worse. I went through countless tests, scans, and surgeries in an effort to uncover the root of the problem. The pain was often so intense that I had to be given powerful drugs like morphine, which left me feeling completely out of it — dizzy, detached, and often unable to even sit up. The Bends is about that disorienting, overwhelming feeling, and how being around a certain person can evoke that same feeling.”

The track is accompanied by the official video,which was produced by long-time collaborator of the band Geoff Owens, who said, “the band are known for their electric live shows and powerful on-stage chemistry, but this time we wanted to peel that back and reveal a different side to them: their personalities, their humour, and a slightly surreal edge that matched the tone of the track. Visually, I drew inspiration from the bold stylisation of films like A Clockwork Orange and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest—cinema that isn’t afraid to push into the strange, the theatrical, or the provocative. We wanted the video to feel like a visual trip leaning into themes of rebellion, absurdity, and controlled madness, but always with a wink to the audience.”
