Video Premiere: Big Top Heartbreak – ‘Champions Of The World’

Set to release a debut album next month,Big Top Heartbreak have now shared a brand new single. Filled with poetic lyrical storytelling and catchy melodies, ‘Champions Of The World’ is a wonderfully uptempo offering, reminiscent of The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen.

Front man Scott Lavene says of the biographical track:

“The song is based on a true story from when I spent a year in France busking and playing in bars. At the time I thought it would last forever. The Gitanes and the beautiful women.  But the next year I was working in a factory in Dagenham, so the bubble burst a bit.”

Listen to ‘Champions Of The World’, for the first time, here:

‘Champions Of The World’ is out 3 October. And Deadbeat Ballads, the debut album from Big Top Heartbreak, is out 17 October, and features a range of Bristol musicians such as Pete Judge (Super Furry Animals) and Jim Barr (Portishead).
