NO AMERICANA are to release their long-awaited video for “Wax Poetic”, kicking off what looks set to be a very busy year for the band.

 

The “Wax Poetic” video sees NO AMERICANA stepping up to the mark in the wintry waters of Bolton. Shot by director Ben Thornley (Fightstar, Young Guns) and his team in a storage facility in a grim business park in random Bolton, a huge construction of Perspex sheets, which were suspended above and around the band, was assembled ready to rain icy cold water on the band below - resulting in drummer Dan Taylor contracting meningitis.

 

Commenting on his rock'n'roll induced illness Dan went onto say:

 

"The start of 2012 has seen me sent to hell and back, but seeing how the wax poetic music video has turned out I would say the Meningitis was well worth it."

 

Frontman David James Foster expressed the bands excitement to be involved with such a bold but cold project for a first video saying: 

 

“I can't believe how it looks, Ben and the team have done a fantastic job in constructing such a set. Can’t believe this will be our debut video.”

 

On the videos concept, David continues:

 

“As such an up-tempo but emotive track, lyrically it has a lot of metaphoric references to water, and now Ben has helped us to bring it to life.”

 

The band have also announced a couple of shows. Catch NO AMERICANA at:
