Bristol trio Blank Atlas have released their newest single ‘No Good’, alongside a music video, a follow-up of their track ‘Better Off Dead’.
Tom Thould, drummer and vocalist, share, “The song was actually inspired after watching an episode of Love Island. A lot of the people on the show will always say someone’s ‘No Good’ when they’ve been done dirty. I thought that’d be a fun little lyric work into a song. The song came pretty quickly after that, so we’ve got Love Island to thank for that one! I also really like the chords we used for this one which was inspired by bands like Lower Than Atlantis (RIP). I also recorded the drums for this with a sprained ankle, so that was fun!”
Guitarist and vocalist, Dan Thould, comments, “We’ve been so excited to finally release this one. We sneakily played it for the first time at our acoustic set at 2000trees festival this year, and it went down really well! It’s no secret that we have an affinity with Trees, so getting to play it to all the lovely people there was such a treat, and just made us even more excited to finally release it.”
Bassist and vocalist, Chris Simpson, says, “We really enjoyed getting this video together. We wanted to do another tongue in cheek video again, as we hadn’t done one since the video for ‘Better Off Dead’ which was 4 years ago now! I played a grumpy boss at an office, which was fun to play, although it was super hard trying to get through that without laughing. Safe to say it took quite a few takes, but we got there in the end. Can’t wait for everyone to see it!”
You can catch Blank Atlas on tour throughout the UK in November, tickets are available now.
