VIDEO PREMIERE: Children Collide - 'Man Of The People'

With the news dropping earlier this year that they'd be releasing their first album in almost a decade, Children Collide are today sharing a first look at their brand new video, Man Of The People, premiering exclusively with The Music.

A throwback-style vid packed with neon visuals and CGI, singer Johnnie Mackay said the video is an homage to a bygone age of filmed performances. 

“The closest any TV program ever got to transferring that true live band energy through the screen was Germany’s Beat Club which ran from ‘65-’72," he explained. 

"I’ve done many deep dives on their YouTube Channel. Check out Sabbath, Can, Fanny, MC5, Canned Heat, there’s even one with NEU! & Kraftwerk jamming. 

"Somehow, the crude green screen and way it’s edited makes you feel something special, so I really wanted to go for that vibe with this video. The crash zooms referenced old Sonic Youth videos and I added in some funny old Star Wars wipes in the edit then stirred it all into a visual soup to hopefully give people a taste of that live energy in their screens."
