Watch: Faintest Idea – Cocktails
Kings Lynn’s Faintest Idea have shared a new video for ‘Cocktails’. The new track from the rudeboy street punks is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming album ‘Increasing The Minimum Rage’ released via Manchester-based punk and ska label TNSrecords on 1st April 2016, which can be preordered here.
Commenting on the video, the band say: “Cocktails is about harnessing the violence and anger that neo liberalism produces and using it as a way to fight back. Sometimes things need to be destroyed for anything new to grow. It’s about trying to keep hope when it increasingly looks like things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.”
The band have also announced a run of headline UK tour dates throughout April, May and June in support of the new album, as well as an appearance at this year’s Rebellion Festivals punk festival in Blackpool – see below for full details.
