Just In Time For Halloween, Private Function Release Savage 'Seize And Destroy' Video

The raucous pub punk band Private Function return today with Seize And Destroy, a frantic number that might be the toughest number in their expansive discography.

Chris Penney, vocalist and primary songwriter, says that Seize And Destroy is the third instalment of a "Destroy" trilogy: "As a teenager, I found it weird that the Stooges had a song called 'Search and Destroy', and Metallica have a song called 'Seek and Destroy', so I wrote part three, 'Seize and Destroy', which marks the finale of those two songs." The track is indeed a love letter to both the Stooges and Metallica, invoking the attitude and fury of '80s thrash metal. Hell yeah.

The track was recorded with Chris Wright (A Swayze and the Ghosts) and mixed by Matt Duffy (Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Bench Press) to concoct a vicious atmosphere of blood-curdling vocals, electrifying shreds, and epic bass lines.

The video is not for the faint of heart - the band members jam in bone-shivering woodlands as they slowly realise that Bananas In Pajamas are hunting them. Seize And Destroy is the second single from Private Function's upcoming album, to be released in early 2023, and shows how effortlessly the band switch between genres.

Private Function are touring with WAAX this November and December and will perform at Meredith Music Festival.
