FOR SINGLE ‘FAKE’

January 28, 2020

Sydney-based alternative-rock band RedHook have just revealed a wild and personality-fuelled new music video for their single ‘Fake’ – shot, directed, and edited by D.O. Blackley (Her Name Is Murder Productions).

Matching the intensity of the song itself, the chaotic clip is a visual assault of colourful scenes and abrupt transitions, featuring band members Emmy Mack, Craig Wilkinson, and Alex Powys performing in front of a riot of green screen graphics.

The video is a gesture to the deception and deceit of its own procedure, featuring a combination of quirky production techniques, including the use of old school camcorders.

Lead singer Emmy Mack talks about the making of the clip:

“In keeping with the whole vibe of the song ‘Fake’, we wanted to create a clip that was visually bonkers, but which also constantly drew attention to itself as a music video, highlighting the artifice of the whole process. We basically just went ham with a green screen, snow machine and pretty much anything else we could get our hands on!”

The band just finished supporting Australian metalcore mainstays The Amity Affliction in Canberra, Wollongong, and Newcastle, before they appear at Download Festival in both Sydney and Melbourne in March.

This continues on from a relentless year of touring, including performances at Download UK, BIGSOUND and Halloween Hysteria 2019, as well as supporting the likes of Sevendust, Hands Like Houses and Ocean Grove.

The band recently completed their debut Australian headline tour, where they sold out shows in both Sydney and Melbourne.
