MASSIVE WAGONS RELEASE OFFICIAL “UNDER NO ILLUSION” MUSIC VIDEO
***NEW ALBUM, FULL NELSON, OUT AUGUST 10TH ON EARACHE RECORDS***
English anthemic rockers MASSIVE WAGONS have released an official music video for their song “Under No Illusion”. The track was the first to be revealed from the band’s eagerly-anticipated new album, ‘Full Nelson’, which releases worldwide on August 10th. The video was filmed in and around the band’s spiritual home of Lancaster.
“Under No Illusion” is a song which as soon as we’d jammed it together, we kinda knew this was gonna be a single,” comments MASSIVE WAGONS frontman Baz Mills. “It had that immediate feel. Some songs take the recording process before they are considered for a single release, but Illusion was instant. It’s a song which I suppose from a personal point of view is letting other bands know – bands on the rise – to watch out for the clowns in the industry; selfish people out purely for their own gain. Nothing wrong with furthering yourself at all, just not at the expense of others. We’ve met loads of ’em, dealt with a few; so hard to spot often till it’s too late. A band absolutely needs a trustworthy team around it.
“The song also just says don’t be scared to make decisions for the good of yourself and the band. Do your thing. I think when a band are doing what they feel best at – writing songs and performing without being contrived or staged, and just being themselves – it is a much more enjoyable process and it comes across in a much better way. Sometimes easier said than done, I know. There is a message in the song explaining exactly what I think of people praying on bands. I always loved the idea of stuff in song lyrics that is hidden or cryptic – gives it a new angle. I really enjoyed writing this one; thanks everyone for listening to it.”
‘Full Nelson’ features 12 roaring tracks, including a brand new version of “Back to the Stack” – the band’s tribute to legendary STATUS QUO rocker Rick Parfitt as well as the recently-released single “Robot (Trust in Me)” for which the band worked with famed BLACK SABBATH and JUDAS PRIEST producer/engineer Mike Exeter.
