Scholars Unveil Music Video For New Single 'Bad For Business' - Watch Now
Thursday, 16 February 2012
Written by Jon Stickler
Scholars will release new single ‘Bad For Business’ on 27th February, 2012. The track is a word to the covetous, the dishonest and the cold-blooded amongst the powerful few who influence the lives of many. The song is written from the perspective of the base-rate employee at the bottom of the food chain and (with tongue firmly jammed in cheek) seeks to express the frustration we all feel when we're taken for granted.
The music video for this new single was directed by Scott Peters and involved the purchase, assembly, destruction and recycling of 100 cardboard boxes. It was filmed at the Old Town Hall in Hemel Hempstead, more commonly used as a location for such cosy Sunday evening dramas as Midsomer Murders and Pie in the Sky.
Having spent their formative years listening to bands like Braid, Hundred Reasons, The Dismemberment Plan, The Faint and Tears for Fears, Scholars certainly have influences. However, the band have honed a sound that is unmistakably Scholars.
After UK tours in 2011 which included shows with letlive, The Computers, Young Guns, Spycatcher, And So I Watch You From Afar, Francesqa, The Xcerts, Max Raptor and Gay For Johnny Depp amongst others, Scholars are once again hitting the road in February in support of the new single.
