New Video: Max Raptor

• 20th Mar 2012

Max Raptor play London Barfly this Thursday, 22nd March as the final date of their smash UK tour with Hildamay. Check out the video which launches today to new single ‘Carolina’.

Heralded for their forthright sketches of modern society, the gritty omniscience of new single Carolina is the perfect calling card for one of the most original up-and-coming alt-rock bands of our time. The video for this dismal yet somehow charming portrayal of the British ultimate dysfunctional family could not be more apt amidst headlines of austerity with the tender wounds of a riotous summer still healing. Carolina is a 21st century punk anthem sparked by the imperfections of human nature; an alcoholic, abusive father, bitter and aggressively defensive of failure; a fragile yet desperately narcissistic mother who longs to be noticed; an older sister who knows nothing other than to use her sexuality as her escape; and a younger brother, coarsely wrought by all of the above, unemployed, hopeless and destined to become his own father.

Both Carolina and Portraits are available now on Naim Edge Records.
