This House We Built Release New Single and Video
25th August 2023 0 By Jon DeauxRising and ever-vibrant 4-piece Scarborough-based rockers This House We Built release their brand-new single, Nobodyâs Fool, accompanied by an imaginative, fun video that gives a glimpse of the Eighties as seen through the eyes of kids today.
âThis song started off as a riff from our guitarist Andy Jackson,â explains frontman Scott Wardell, âBetween us, we would send each other âdittiesâ recorded on our phones at various times of the day when we felt inspired. Having a âbag of riffsâ made things a little easier sometimes when trying to get a base for a song.Â
âThe lyrics came from a little story that I had in my head about when we were young lads going out on the town, all fired up and eventually catching the wrong womanâs eye, leading you down a road you didnât intend to follow that evening. Iâm sure weâve all had one of those nights in our lives, havenât we?
âAnyway,â says Scott, with a grin and gusto, âturn it up to 11 and enjoy the ride!â
Reflecting on the lively video for âNobodyâs Foolâ, Scott explains, âThe idea of the video was to try and make it fun with a capital F.
âWeâve given the video a kind of Eighties 80âs vibe. They were great times, full of happy memories for us and for the kids itâs a glimpse into times before they were born! Itâs a bit of an I Spy challenge. There are plenty of Eighties references in there, with a little âTykettoâ thrown in for good measure. Weâre huge fans of Tyketto and Danny Vaughnâs been an awesome champion and mentor for us.
âMy sisterâs boys (Ross, Bob & Ted) feature in the video and also our new drummer Chrisâs lad (Felix). Weâve dressed them all up to look like our âmini mesâ: they had great fun and we made sure there were plenty of Haribos and Fruit Shoots to keep their energy up!
âAs youâll see, the grown-up band members opted for our very own, special brew: This Beer We Builtâ which we shamelessly plug throughout the video! Weâre hoping that the sales of the beer fund the recording of the new album.â
This House We Built has earned glowing endorsements and rave reviews from Dave Ling (Classic Rock), who called them an âimmensely promising quartet playing a confident, summery, sometimes funk-fuelled style that will leave you grinning from ear to earâ.
Meanwhile, Rob Evans (Powerplay Rock & Metal) praised them for âthe best independent album Iâve heard this yearâ, and predicted that âThis House We Built are already on rock solid foundations on which to build a successful career in the music scene.â
The band is keeping very busy and has a number of festivals planned up and down the country this year, they are also halfway through writing their second album and have just been given the opening slots to Tykettoâs up and coming Winter tour.
Of late, theyâve also been working with Danny (of Tyketto, Snake Oil & Harmony & a leading independent solo artist), and have a single ready to release very soon: watch this space!Â
âGeez! These guys can really write songs!â says Danny, âFrankly, thereâs not a duff song in the bunch. And the production! This sounded as sonically huge and complete as any of the very best classic rock albums.â
Check out the latest single and video from these ever-exciting sons of Scarborough, and watch out for their latest releases, appearances, and ventures.
