London rockers Black Orchid Empire have released a new video for ‘Celebrity Summer’, the first single from their forthcoming album ‘Yugen’ which drops on May 25th via Long Branch Records. Of the video, vocalist/guitarist Paul Visser says “Making the video for ‘Celebrity Summer’ was a blast – we shot the whole thing in our studio so everything is super in-your-face and intense, Scott Canty from Dark North Media did an incredible job of pushing our performance to the limit as he captured it – he totally destroyed us!”
It’s muscular hard rock that permeates ‘Celebrity Summer’, but like all the best sort, it has this chorus that is ridiculously catchy, and enough melody and vocal harmonies to brush some sweetness over the brash and heavy riffs. Check it out, here
