Hellions: New Album, New Video, & New Tour

Hellions have hit us with a load of announcements recently, with a new album, a new video, and a new tour. Jesus, calm down there, lads.

Well first off, the band's third album is called 'Opera Oblivia', and it lands on July 29th through UNFD. Neato.

In support of this new record, the Sydney outfit will be touring nationally late next month and in early/mid-August (deets below). Oh, and the new film clip is for previous single, 'Quality Of Life', which was released last month and is the first song from the band that comes close to having full clean vocals on it. It's also a great track, so there's that too.

Now, as for the video, there are two lights that I see its narrative in.

One: the protagonist is seeing herself as a young child and wonders whether she could ever reclaim that kind of happiness and joy. (spoiler: she does. Or at least starts to). Or two: the little girl is actually the main character's daughter and just like a corny kids movie, children remind us miserable grown-ups of what we have since lost.

Either way, I suppose that the end result is the same, but fuck it! I'm going with number two. Watch the new clip below and make up your own mind. Or just jam out to it, whichever works for you.

'The Quality Of Life Tour' dates are below. You can, and should, grab your tickets from Destroy All Lines.

(P.S. I am now taking bets on what the fuck the band are laughing at in that photo).
