Watch The Video For Broken Witt Rebels’ ‘Running With The Wolves’
The track also features on the band’s Snakefarm Records’ debut, ‘OK Hotel’, released on 13 March.
Birmingham rockers Broken Witt Rebels have shared the video for the track ‘Running With The Wolves’, which features on their second studio album, OK Hotel, set for global release via Snakefarm Records on 13 March. You can check it out below.
As a working class band with deep working class roots, Broken Witt Rebels chose to set the ‘Running With The Wolves’ video at a banger race, shining a light on the strength of community and their pride in being a part of it. The visuals are both heart-warming and chaotic as they show the devastation on the track alongside the unity of those involved in the scene, with the gritty and insatiable feel-good vibes of the music providing the perfect soundtrack.
“For every down life brings, there is an up waiting to happen. We wanted to capture those emotions in our [‘Running With The Wolves’] video,” explains bassist Luke Davis. “Banger racing has a community all of its own; blood, sweat and tears go into preparing the cars, driving them hard, then bringing them back to life again to go in the next race of the day.
“All of the highs and lows are there, and we were honoured to be allowed to be a small part of that on the day.”
The track, along with the recently released ‘Money’, is now available as a double A-side 7” coloured vinyl single – serving as a first taste of what’s to come on OK Hotel. To support the release of the new album, Broken Witt Rebels will be signing copies and playing selected songs live at HMV stores in Sheffield & Birmingham.
Inspired by the likes of Rival Sons, Kaleo & Alabama Shakes, their blues-tinged rock ‘n’ roll swagger is laden with gutsy guitars and anthemic hooks, giving them an infectious, arena-worthy sound that has seen them achieve critical acclaim and led them to stages across the US & Europe.
