Formerly Baby Godzilla, Heck have unveiled their first video since renaming. The filming process for ‘The Breakers’ featured a BBC Wildlife video crew, a nuclear lighting rig and a motorised robot buggy.
“When someone pitches a ‘performance video’ in the HECK video think tank, they are generally met with stony faces and rolled eyes,” says frontman Matt Reynolds. “Music videos are a chance to show more creativity visually. Straight up performance generally say fuck all except ‘this is what we look like playing our song’ which, you know, is great and all, but is worth about 10 seconds of your YouTube time before going back to watching compilations of people braining themselves whilst trying to surf an ironing board down a main road.”
“So basically, if we’re going to pitch a performance based video to the group it had BETTER be good. This time we somehow ended up with a BBC wildlife camera crew, a nuclear lighting rig and a motorised robot buggy camera thing that came from the future; much to us all sporting the inimitable HECK ‘how the fuck did we get here’ bewilderment.”
‘The Breakers’ will be available from the 30th October via NPAG Industries.
