Ahead of their March headline tour, Weirds have released a new music video.

The Leeds psych-grunge band’s new single is taken from their debut album which is due out later this year via Alcopop! Records. Speaking of their new track, frontman Aidan Razzall explained: “’Valley of Vision’ was one of the first songs we wrote for the record. We wanted to create a pop song, and make it big, heavy and mysterious. We try to craft our songs in simple structures, and it came together pretty much in one night in our basement.”

Catch Weirds live at the following shows before they head to Camden Rocks and 2000 Trees Festival this summer:

Wierds, following the self-released “savage onslaught of sickly-sweet desert rock, grungey riffs and menacing vocals” that was ‘Off The Hook’, the Leeds four-piece have announced some dates in early January.
Like their debut tracks, the double A- side ‘Yolk’/‘Crocodile’, another track which doesn’t hold back.  A three-minute psychy puncher, with a great Western-style opening guitar sequence,

After sharing stages with the likes of Pulled Apart By Horses, Traams and God Damn, Weirds are set for a headline tour in January. 2015, certainly a band to watch this coming year.

WEIRDS – ” Dig “

Weirds new track ‘Dig’ is a three minute blast of bile, biting guitars and rolling choruses. Written in a sweat-drenched basement late this summer, the track is the band’s first release on their ‘Heavy Records’ imprint. ‘It’s great fun to play live’ Zachary Thomas, the group’s guitarst grins, ‘The chorus has some pretty rapid fret wanking which enables me to stand there looking like some sort of shit Tom Morello

Having ripped their way into the public psyche with ‘Yolk’ / ‘Crocodile’  the band have been locked away in ‘the North’, pulsing with the manic energy of Psycho era Nicholson, and commiting twisted sludge-rock monsters to tape. ‘Off the Hook’ was the first taste of their new material, and now, with ‘Dig’, the boys are giving us the first full glimpse of their new skin. The production is as crisp , The guitars ooze muddy-menace, and lead singer Aiden veers wildly between hushed meance and full bodied bellows. It might be the best thing they’ve done to date andthat’s no easy feat. The four-piece are heading out for an nine-date, independant tour in early January.
