Scottish indie-rockers The View have unveiled the brand new music video for their track ‘Tacky Tattoo’, which hits shelves on December 2nd.
The band put the finishing touches to an excellent year - that has seen them return with Top 10 album ‘Cheeky for a Reason’ - with the confirmation of a fresh winter tour, which sees them perform up and down the country including 2 special shows at the legendary Glasgow Barrowland.
The band will also digitally release a special double A-side in time for Christmas on 2nd December. The bundle release will feature ‘Tacky Tattoo’ and ‘Hold On Now’, as well as a B-side cover of Amy Winehouse’s ‘Addicted’. The bands homage to the late pop legend will also be featured in the forthcoming Q Magazine tribute issue.
Produced by Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys, Foals), ‘Cheeky For A Reason’ neatly encapsulates the band’s mission statement of creating an album akin to “Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’ done by The Clash.” The album is the band’s fourth after the Mercury-nominated #1 debut ‘Hats Off to the Buskers’, the Top 10 follow-up ‘Which Bitch’ and 2011’s Top 20 ‘Bread & Circuses’.
Representing their most freely eclectic work to date, the album flows from the Celtic-influenced melodic rush of ‘How Long’ through the pounding punk of ‘AB (We Need Treatment)’, to the 70s-styled hybrid of piano pop and rich vocal harmonies that define the closing track ‘Tacky Tattoo’.
The video for ‘Tacky Tattoo’ can be seen below - as well as all their winter tour dates.
