The Pineapple Thief release new music video for ‘Driving Like Maniacs’

THE PINEAPPLE THIEF have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Driving Like Maniacs, is taken from the British progressive rock band’s upcoming new album, Versions Of The Truth, which is scheduled to be released on Friday.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, frontman Bruce Soord says, “the song has a very specific meaning to me, from a very specific event in my life. But I always give George (Laycock), who produces and directs all of our videos, total control over how he wants to adapt it for the big screen. The main shoot was shot along a coastal road on the Dorset Jurassic coast, and I spent the sunset of an August evening driving up and down the coastal road in a car. It brought back vivid memories from my youth.

The song is about estrangement, but George managed to find his own take on it. About a father forced to abandon his child in order to save him, to care for him in absentia. Ultimately at least, there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. The performance element is also very important, sitting within that narrative. We wanted to include the full band in this video. THE PINEAPPLE THIEF is definitely a band, a true collaboration, so it made sense that George also included shots of Gavin, Jon and Steve playing.”
