Petrol Girls Release Video For New Single Survivor
Friday, 06 April 2018
Written by Helen Payne
Petrol Girls have released a new single.
Survivor is the first new material from post-hardcore band since their debut album 'Talk Of Violence' in 2016. Vocalist Ren Aldridge explained how it deals with themes of sexual violence:
“The people who've spoken up so courageously about their experiences have broken the silence that has protected abusers in the past, often at massive risk to their own safety and well being. I hope that their bravery inspires the cultural shift in attitudes that is so desperately needed.”
The track is accompanied by a video, produced by Aldridge.
“For the video I set up a collaboration between Andrew Northrop who I’ve really enjoyed making music videos with previously, and painter Mariah Pearl. The way that Mariah’s paintings play with the surface of the canvas gives me a really strong feeling of a clandestine power that refuses to be captured or identified. For me, this reflects whisper networks and the erupting movement against sexual violence. It’s like the tree roots that push up through the tarmac.”
Petrol Girls head out on tour of the UK later this month. Check out the dates below.
