Post-hardcore London duo JOHN made up of John Newton (drums, lead vocals) and Johnny Healey (guitar, backing vocals) – share the video for “Stadium of No,” the video for the group’s latest single off Nocturnal Manoeuvres (Pets Care/Brace Yourself Records), out this Friday, October 8th. The frenetic and impressively angular “Stadium of No” features spiked riffs, overdriven interludes, and soaring choruses, packed into a tight runtime that sits just under three minutes. Its off-kilter video directed by their friends Henry Dartnall and Thomas Bonsu-Dartnall (aka The House of Lords) of Young Knives finds the Dartnall brothers standing in on behalf of JOHN, while the Johns film the eye-popping performance. “In parallel to the recurring motif of twenty-four-hour work that runs throughout the album’s tracklisting, stadiums appear as hopelessly redundant monuments when they’re empty – only activated by the bodies that inhabit them. The song’s a nod to the often-overwhelming conditions of our present: a stadium-like crowd of opinions trying to shout on top of one another,” says Newton of “Stadium Of No.”
JOHN has been taking full advantage of its forthcoming release currently performing shows before setting off on tour. Dates are listed below.
