The Chapman Family Release Music Video For 'No More Tears' - Watch Now
Wednesday, 09 May 2012
Written by Jon Stickler
The Chapman Family have released their latest music video, accompanying new song 'No More Tears'. It was filmed by Yorkshire based filmmaker Nick Thompson in the decaying yet stunning cavernous Hulme Hippodrome in Manchester in April this year.
The video was inspired by Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, The Shining, Johnny Cash, Elvis, the string quartet on the Titanic, the finale of Rocky Horror and Blade Runner to create the most possessed lounge band possible.
'No More Tears' is taken from the band's new EP - 'Cruel Britannia' - which will be released in independent record shops and online on June 18th on Best Before Records. It's their first release since unsold copies of last years 'Burn Your Town' album were destroyed in the Sony Warehouse fire in the London Riots and aims on the one hand to roar against a culture being swallowed up by idleness and intolerance and on the other to just be fucking good songs.
Furthermore, The Chapman Family will be playing at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton this Friday, 11th May - onstage at midnight in the Latest Music Bar!
