PREMIERE: Castle Bravo - A Way Out

17 May 2016 | 11:05 am | Staff Writer

West Australian punk four-piece Castle Bravo have been hard at work lately putting the finishing touches on their debut full-length album, Foreign Object Free, and to precede its release next month, The Music is stoked to be premiering the video clip for new track A Way Out today, the band's first-ever visual release.

The video was directed by Natascha Zink, with cinematography and editing by Nicholas Jackson, and intersperses footage of the band rocking out the track's furious riffs and impassioned vocals with shots of a man — a once-successful surfer — and his family dealing with the fallout of an apparent accident that has left him paralysed and clawing for the bottle.

The track itself — released as a single back in October — is no-nonsense, balls-to-the-wall punk-rawk, evocative of early Bodyjar and other fixtures of the mid-to-late-'90s scene with several distinguishing flourishes thrown in for good measure. It falls as one of 11 crackers on the upcoming album, which follows 2012's seven-track, self-titled mini-album in Castle Bravo's oeuvre of frenetic, fist-pumping tunes.

Foreign Object Free will be released digitally on Friday 24 June. The band will be launching the record the next night, Saturday 25 June, at the Boston, Northbridge.
