WATCH: Skaters share new video for ‘In Your Head’

After an exciting return last year, riding the wave of the excellent comeback ‘Rock and Roll Bye Bye’ EP, playing a sell-out tour with Ratboy and putting the world to rights with their live session for Annie Mac on Radio 1, Skaters are kicking down the doors again! This time it’s in the form of their skewed take on pop with new single ‘In Your Head’ which sets up the release of their sophomore album on March 24th.

Based in New York City via LA and Hull, the international partnership of the band brings all sorts of original ideas to the table which is clear to hear on ‘In Your Head’. Take the NYC/CBGB grit and mix it in with the English spit before letting that ferment in some California sun and you’re left with a can of punk-flavoured pop that goes down rather smooth! The accompanying video is as charming as it is bratty, as a ballet-dancer-come-street-hoodie is seen pirouetting down the street of Hull, providing a perfect backdrop to perhaps the true meaning of ‘In Your Head’.

Lead Guitarist and founding member Josh Hubbard describes how the video came to be; “The ethos brought to this new project is similar to that of the DIY ethos… but it’s more inclusive, so we’ve coined it DIWOP2, which his short for ‘Do It With Other People Also’. We reached out on the internet to people and people got back. Conversations were had, relationships forged and collaborations were born….”

‘In Your Head’ is the closing track on the band’s full-length album ‘Rock and Roll Bye Bye’ (not to be confused with the EP of the same name!) which is released March 24th on the band’s very own Yonks Records. Check it out below…
