Official Press Release:




HORSELL

COMMON have announced the release of SING THE NEWS – the second single

from their acclaimed debut album ‘The Rescue’, along with a national

tour to celebrate.



The

latest single by HORSELL COMMON represents exactly why this band is one

of the most revered acts on the Aussie circuit – honest, sincere and

melodic rock devoid of pretension and full of the hook-laden energy

that has defined their song writing. Taken

from their debut album ‘The Rescue’, SING THE NEWS is the band’s most

radio friendly track to date – soft in parts, catchy as hell and with

the kind of master build up to excite even the coldest fans. But that

is not to say that the track is anywhere close to the cookie-cutter pop

so many of their musical peers have fallen for. HORSELL COMMON has

written a song that redefines how inspiring Aussie rock can really be. 


SING

THE NEWS is full of quirks and has it’s own positive energy that shines

through with a subtlety that only true emotion can convey. The lyrics

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

portray the importance of remaining optimistic about bad news, singing

it to the world to convey the real beauty in life’s ups and downs. It’s

the same lyrical aspect that is the reason the band appeals to people

of all walks of life. The same happy yet realistic outlook that has

made the band connect so strongly with those that know and love

what HORSELL COMMON is about.

The

accompanying film clip depicts the band’s two members

(guitarist/vocalist Mark Stewart and bass player Luke Cripps) in a full

blown chase of each other, playing up to the band’s fun side despite

the serious nature of the song. With BMX bike riding, parkour and full

throttle chases throughout Melbourne’s famous alleyways and streets,

the clip has more stunts (and stunt doubles) than your average kung-fu

blockbuster. It is safe to say that just as no one who hears HORSELL

COMMON will forget them, no one will be forgetting this amazing film

clip any time soon, either. 


HORSELL

COMMON will once again be taking their stunning live show on the road -

this time in support of SING THE NEWS. After selling-out shows on their

album tour earlier this year, make sure you get in quick for your

chance to see them at their best.
