On the back of a smashing run of festivals and headline shows, Retro Video Club waste no time as they return with blistering new single ‘Boys Like Me’.
Having recently sold-out Glasgow’s 1,300 capacity SWG3, the Scottish rockers unleash yet another sky-rocketing rock anthem about letting go of all that holds you back, and defiantly being yourself.
‘Boys Like Me’ carries a vehement mix of pulsating guitars, driving rhythms and stadium-worthy hooks.
The band said: “‘This is a song about confronting your ego, and challenging the social scale. It’s telling you to abandon your thoughts about what or who is cool, and just live in the moment.”
With a series of new music and a larger body of work to follow, the band are set to go on an 11 date tour of the UK through November and December – with some dates already sold out. The tour also includes two back to back dates at Glasgow’s infamous King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut.
With their new songs just waiting to be released, Retro Video Club sound like a band equipped to play the biggest of stages.
They added: “We were aiming for the sky, production wise. We’ve always been proud of our live show and we really do want as much of that to come across in the recording as possible.
“When you’re writing songs, part of you is always thinking ‘this bit will be so good live’.”
With even more to come later this year, the band are determined to push things as far as possible.
