Guidford based angular-punk quartet TRAILS recently released their crowd-funded debut album ‘Crooked Trees’ – fans can purchase on vinyl through Failure By Design Records or digitally here.
‘Echoes in Eternity’ is the latest track taken from the album and comes complete with a reverse slow-mo video that the band conceived and edited themselves, starring Karl Sursham from friends in fellow-Guildford based melodic hardcore punks DARKO, who starts (and finishes) the video covered in water, paint, flour and sweat.
“This video was shot on an iPhone 5 for the slow motion capability” says vocalist and guitarist Sam Hopper “The quality outshone both our Canon and Go Pro options! It was filmed by Ben Pollard and we’d like to say a special thanks to our helping crew: Megan, Fi, Sarah, Rob, Dan, Chris and Rosh!”
For anyone yet to catch their intense live show, the band play a free entry gig in London at The Old Blue Last on Sunday 7th December with Fish Tank and Midfield Workhorse.
Tour dates with the likes of breakthrough UK bands like Arcane Roots, The Computers, Tellison, Don Broco and Scholars, as well as appearances at Great Escape and Beach Break Festivals, are already marking these boys out as ones to watch – get on board now while you’re still ahead of the curve.
