No Place Like Home is the latest release from The Ks, one of the UK’s fastest-rising bands. The new single was written by band members Jamie Boyle and Ryan Breslin and recorded, mixed and produced by Gareth Nuttall.
While the accompanying music video features a teenager putting on a cassette of the band, dancing around the streets and using the music as a form of escapism, directed by Geoff Owens, the video also includes scenes of the band performing the song.
We wanted to try capturing the energy of the track live as well as through the reaction of people listening to it and the young lad bouncing round his town to his favourite tune has done this perfectly.” says Guitairst Ryan, Geoff Owens added “This concept presents an exciting visual opportunity, allowing us to showcase the band’s mastery while authentically conveying their live essence, both through an electrifying performance and visceral experience for the listener.”
The video for No Place Like Home certainly compliments the high energy but deeply personal track, which is one that everyone can relate to and, much like the video, will find the listener dancing around the kitchen or their own city too.
The band explains its deep rooted and personal story, “No Place Like Home is a story of the weekly occurrence of anxiety and panic attacks every Sunday. Starting with an initial feeling of confusion as to why your body feels like it’s fighting to survive closely followed by the panic that sets in as you retrace your steps through the night before. The dreaded “beer fear” and financial hardship that makes you promise you’ll never do it again – only to do the exact same the weekend after. The song constantly battles to try and find balance between the temporary tranquillity that comes with being intoxicated and the harsh reality of the longer term effects it has on both physical and mental health.”
No Place Like Home is the first single to be released from their hugely anticipated debut album I Wonder If The World Knows. The album has already received thousands of pre-orders and is available on Vinyl, Cassette, CD and all digital platforms. Speaking about the upcoming release, Jamie says: “The long wait is nearly over, and we are finally on the brink of releasing our debut album. I Wonder If The World Knows is a written journey throughout the last couple of years of our lives throughout the ups, the downs and everything in between. We’ve put our heart and soul into making the perfect record and we can’t wait for you to hear it.”
