Rupert Stroud Announces New Video & Free Download

• 25th Sep 2012

Rupert Stroud presents the brand new video for his latest single ‘Twisted Games’. Filmed in an old, dilapidated mill in West Yorkshire the video perfectly compliments Stroud’s haunting vocals, sombre verses and menacingly rich arrangements.

Stroud is also giving away a free download of the single’s B-Side ‘No Peace of Mind’ here: link

Rupert Stroud started out playing the Yorkshire gig circuit as a solo acoustic artist penning his debut Rupert Road along the way. He was discovered by eminent British producer Will Jackson (The Kaiser Chiefs, Embrace, The Cribs, The Music) who adamantly brought Rupert into his studio to record. Stroud’s second album ‘Chasing The Night’, again with Will Jackson as producer, brought Stroud to wider acclaim securing a huge host of online support, national press features and well received slots amongst incredible line ups at Live at Leeds and Galtres Festival 2012.

Mick Bedford on drums and Mike Pearson on keys and guitar are now permanent fixtures in Rupert’s line-up. As the three evolved into a dynamic group, around the recording of ‘Chasing the Night’, Stroud was set apart from the usual singer/songwriter status quo. They are often joined on stage by songbird Kate Peters, primarily a jazz singer, who also sings backing vocals on ‘Chasing The Night’.
