A Silent Film release fun video for Something To Believe In

March 7, 2016

A Silent Film have just released a great new music video for their song, Something To Believe In. The song is their second single from their self titled album released in 2015. The video is a great fun video that was directed by Robert Frost & Andrew Kueh (https://radirectors.com). The band explains, We wanted to make a light-hearted video that referenced some of the amusing and often bizarre experiences we have had doing TV appearances. The video has the look and feel of the kind of 90s British music TV aesthetic that we grew up watching, with the obligatory neon and smoke machine! The ‘crew romance’ storyline seemed to go so well with the optimistic tone of the song, we hope you all enjoy!Cheers,Robert & Spencer Check out the new video here:   You can pick up the album by heading over to iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-silent-film/id1039739643. Make sure to visit their social media sites so you can stay up to date on the latest news.
