New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Kings Lynn rudeboy street punks Faintest Idea are pleased to reveal a new video for �Cocktails�, the second in a trio of feature videos that make up a short film detailing the socio-political issues faced in the UK as a result of the current Conservative government.
The new track from the rudeboy street punks is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming album �Increasing The Minimum Rage� released via Manchester-based punk and ska label TNSrecords on 1st April 2016, which can be preordered here: https://www.tnsrecords.co.uk/?product_cat=tns-releases
Commenting on the video, the band say: �Cocktails is about harnessing the violence and anger that neo liberalism produces and using it as a way to fight back. Sometimes things need to be destroyed for anything new to grow. It�s about trying to keep hope when it increasingly looks like things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.�
The band are also pleased to announce a run of headline UK tour dates throughout April, May and June in support of the new album, as well as an appearance at this year's Rebellion Festivals punk festival in Blackpool - see below for full details.
'Increasing The Minimum Rage' is released 1st April 2016 via TNS Records.
