Homebound have released the video for Coming Clean, ahead of the release of their new EP, More To Me Than Misery, due on August 17 via Rude Records. Check it out below, and pre-order it here.
"Coming Clean relates to the anxiety felt when closing in on an inevitable confrontation," explains singer Charlie Boughton. "The over-thinking and played out scenarios we mull over and over in our heads until we realise there’s nothing left to do but say what needs to be said. We wanted a video that mirrored the energy and aggression of the song, and much like the whole record, we wanted something that best represented the band that we are.
"Our EP, More to Me Than Misery, draws on the many pitfalls when searching for happiness in love and life," he continues. "Last year was possibly the best and worst of my life for the very same reasons and you begin to fear the very things that once made you who you are. Honesty is a strong theme throughout the record, not just lyrically but I feel it transpires right through to the very core of everything we did with MTMTM. We treated the whole process like it was the last thing we might ever do as a band and I believe that’s made for the best collection of songs we’ve written to date. There’s certainly no hiding the fact that it’s a sharp change from the previous Homebound but it’s definitely the closest representation of the band we want to become."
