Norwich-based post-hardcore outfit Other Half have reveal the new video for latest AA side single Like A Dog/Slab Thick, out now via all good DSPs.
Never ones to be afraid of showing off the dual aspects of their “nasty music for nice people”, the video sees the three-piece rip through a raucous live performance before showing their softer side for the second half as they snuggle up to their mates’ pets Daisy, Lily, Henry, Rickly and Mung.
Commenting on the video, the band say: “BSM wanted a high-concept, high-production pop video to help shift some serious units so we wrangled the few dogs we know and the one cat we own to produce three and a half minutes of visual magic.”
“We like doing everything ourselves; for DIY punk kudos and because we’re tight and awkward, so it was fun figuring out how to make it look like we’re all playing in a room together even when one of us was filming the whole time.”
“For the second part of the video we had next to nothing and were filming some pretty shudder-inducing stuff in the local park when our friend’s Roya and Charlie walked past with their dogs; Daisy and Lily. Never one to miss a free opportunity for content, we scooped those dogs up, spun around a bit and sung at the camera. Rinse, repeat and the rest is history. Thanks to all the nice animals that starred alongside us.”
The band recently announced that they have signed to Big Scary Monsters (American Football, Cursive, The Get Up Kids, Meat Wave) and will release their forthcoming second album Soft Action on 2nd December 2022. They will perform at Gorilla Studios in Hull on November 24th and the Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds on November 25th this year.
