Band on the rise Hallan dropped their newest single, 'Modern England', in August via Nice Swan Records. Now the Portsmouth-based four-piece follow up the chunky riffed, post-punk release with a lyric video.
It is the second offering this year, coming after March's 'Yesterday (With Him)', and is described thus by frontman Conor Clements:
"It’s the characters in our town, the conversations they have and what we see on our television sets. We want to reflect what’s going on in the here. We don’t want to make a one-sided political message or talk for a generation. The song is exactly what it sounds like. A condensed England if you will.
"With so many strange and vapid trends gripping the nation sometimes you have to take it all in and find some humour beneath the surface. Pugs and face changing apps. What's that all about? And how could we forget Brexit? It’s a good job we all have our red passports. But then again does anyone in the country have a clue what’s ever going on? Maybe it’ll all blow over if I stick to my microwave dinner and keep my eyes on the screen."
