Directed by Alex Cantouris, Girl Ray share the new video to latest single 'Friend Like That'.
Featuring the band in full 80s high school prom attire in an almost Carrie-style, the clip was filmed in their old school in Muswell Hill, North London.
"For this video we felt it was necessary to return to our past formula of recreating big-budget films with 0.1% of the money and 3 people whose experience of acting stops at narrating the Year 1 nativity," say the band.
"We have always loved all the classic 80s high school rom-coms, and this particular song seemed to lend itself well to a John Hughes plot. With an extremely questionable storyline we approached Alex Cantouris to help fill in the gaps. After an incredibly stressful week of pulling favours everything was finally ready and we began filming. We actually filmed the prom scene in our old school in Muswell Hill which was a surreal and hilarious experience. It was definitely the funnest video we’ve ever shot, and is now our favourite too."
