October Drift have released their brand new single ‘Tyrannosaurus Wreck’, taken from their forthcoming third album Blame The Young out September 27th via Physical Education Recordings. The album is available to pre-order now here.
The song mixes refreshing dark humour with soaring alt rock energy and reflects the challenges of relationships in the unstable world of music.
“It’s about a relationship breakdown and the balance of life within this band and life outside of it,” says frontman and guitarist Kiran Roy. “It’s like saying I’m a huge fucking disaster. It’s kind of silly, it has a tragic sort of self-awareness, making light of quite heavy themes.”
The charming video continues to poke fun at these themes and features Kiran in full dinosaur costume isolated in smalltown England. The video was filmed and directed by the band and continuing about the video Kiran says, “I thought it would be a cool concept but I’d pictured it being an actor or someone else in the dinosaur suit. I’m not sure how they did it but the band somehow convinced me to put on the dino suit and drag myself through a little southwest town with the guys filming me. This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
