The Vanities release new music video for ‘I’d Rather Die (Than Have A Job In A Tie)’

THE VANITIES have released a brand new music video!

The video, for the track I’d Rather Die (Than Have A Job In A Tie), is taken from the Scottish punk band’s upcoming EP, Your Kids Are Gonna Love It, which is set for release via 7 West Music. More news on the EP will be announced shortly.

The video was a collaborative filming effort between frontman Alan Hannah, photographer Daniel Blake and GGK, THE VANITIES-edited accompanying video is a compilation of all the things they’re missing at the moment. That’s everything from playing live shows and studio recording to simply meeting up with your friends.

Alan Hannah says on the track, I’d Rather Die (Than Have A Job In A Tie) was written during a rough period of unemployment and being on the brew*. Is the grass always greener on the other side? Would I feel happier to pick the mundane option, joining the queue for the slaughterhouse?  This tune is full of angst, disillusionment and utter non-compliance played fast, rough catchy n’ scratchy.”
