Wildhearts release new gory video for the new single, Sleepaway

From Loudersound.

The Wildhearts have released a new single, Sleepaway. It’s taken from the band’s upcoming upcoming album 21st Century Love Songs, and follows the release of previous singles Remember These Days and Sort Your Fucking Shit Out.

“Sleepaway is a song of hope, of fighting for improvement in ourselves,” says frontman Ginger Wildheart. “Locating the area of unhappiness and striving to fix it for the better quality of life. Physically, mentally, emotionally, positive changes can be made. Its not too late…”

From that description, you might expect Sleepaway‘s accompanying video to be a little bit touchy-feely. And you’d be right, if by [spoiler alert] “touchy” you mean a meat cleaver being used to violently amputate someone’s arm, and by “feely” you’re referring to the segment when one of the stars grinds a broken bottle into the eye socket of another.

It turns out the video reflects Ginger’s love of horror and gore movies, and it’s more than a little bit gruesome. You have been warned.
