Wonk Unit release new music video for ‘Cyclists’

WONK UNIT have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Cyclists, is the brand new single from the unique punk phenomenon born out of the South London town of Croydon that furthers the band’s inimitable take on punk rock, and finds them this time taking aim at selfish cyclists.

Speaking about the new song, frontman Alex Johnson says, “last summer on route to a festival on some country lane we were unfortunate enough to get stuck behind two cyclists, yes two abreast. Did they care about the motorcade snaking behind them? Cause not! Go read the highway code – two abreast is cool but ONLY IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. It’s the rules. So, I was tapping my hands on the dashboard when the funk took hold. “Cyclists riding two abreast blocking traffic, blocking traffic”. Then I did some rapping (but thankfully that never made it onto the single.) After about three months the cyclists decided to fix a puncture and we made it to the festival. By then the song was already a WONK winner in the van! We jammed it in soundcheck and was a hit in our set later that night. The end.”
