CrashCarBurn are back! The South African rock legends have released a brand new single on Valentine’s Day and have aptly titled it ‘Juliet’. However, the group released an epic yet eerie video for the track which has already been selected for two international film festivals (the Scout Film Festival in Vermont and CinePlay Film Festival in New York).
The song takes us back to the group’s routes and anyone who loved Blink 182, Green Day and Jimmy Eat World will enjoy the nostalgic feeling of the song. What’s amazing about CrashCarBurn is that they showcase their artistry in each and every single they release. The instrumental on this song is insane and lead singer Garth Barnes delivers another exceptional vocal performance. “We wanted to write a thumping pop punk tune that would tear the club apart when we played it live. It’s loud, it’s aggressive, but most of all it’s fun,” the group says of the release. “We’re super happy with the track. It gets a great response live. It feels a little like we went back 10 years and wrote a song for a Hollywood teen movie.”
This time, however, the group take their artistry to the next level with the release of the animated video. They were approached by Dewald de la Rey from E.I.E Productions and knew an animated video for ‘Juliet’ would be epic. The video fits in with the song seeing as both are a juxtaposition. The track is loud and aggressive, but deals with unrequited love. It’s teenage angst wrapped up in a polished high end production. The song is about a girl who is figuratively tearing out a boy’s heart. The video is about a girl who is literally tearing out a boy’s heart. Oh, and spoiler alert – everyone dies!
