Kneecap by Tom Beard
Kneecap will release it on April 24th.
Kneecap have announced their second album Fenian and shared its lead single Liars Tale which is out with a video directed by Thomas James.
“For me this needed to be punk, absurd, abrasive and wild,” James has reflected.
An ugly reflection of the world we find ourselves in; utter fucking chaos. We talked around the idea of a ‘carnival of distraction’ – and for me, this meant as many ideas as would squeeze into the 3 minutes, that embody the 2+2=5 hell-scape we seem to be surrounded by.
“A whirlwind of Irish mythology, of satire, of anger. A vehicle for what everyone is witnessing. It’s not often you get to work with a band who have a genuine fire, and a selfless interest in trying to help people. And that for all of us involved, was important.”
“The video became a nightmarish fuck you to the powers that be, with a wry smile and a lubed up prop selection.”
