With the release of their album ‘5 Years Behind’ scheduled for 6th March, pop-infused punk quartet Thick have released the single and accompanying video for the title track.
Vocalist and guitarist Nikki Sisti explains ,“It’s about how we always feel five years behind in life, at least as far as the expectations of the world around us, it’s something we’re constantly battling, but at the same time we know that there’s no real timeline—there’s no time limit for doing what we want to do.”
For the video, the band wanted to come up with a concept that was non-literal stating, “It’s one of our more vulnerable songs lyrically, so it was important to inject the video with some playfulness. We collaborated on the concept with Nic Henry (director). He had wanted to introduce the ‘Chill Reaper’ character for a while, so we worked him into the slumber party story, as the night gets weirder and weirder. We constructed the set in Nikki’s bedroom as a throwback to our own bedrooms growing up, so there’s also a sense of nostalgia throughout.”
With more music from the band imminent, this is just a taste of what’s to come, and we’re excited.
