The Snuts have made a flying start to 2024, finding themselves in a heated chart battle with Rod Stewart this week following the release of third album, “Millennials”.
The acclaimed record features popular singles, Gloria and Millionaires, and was released via the band’s new in-house label, Happy Artist Records (via The Orchard), on Friday.
The West Lothian quartet also play to a sold-out crowd at Glasgow‘s iconic Barrowland Ballroom tonight and tomorrow, and they have treated fans to a new video for latest single “Circles” beforehand.
The video was shot in a rainy Glasgow and directed by Michael Sherrington, while featuring a collaboration with the award winning Scottish Actor, Tony Curran.
A BAFTA-award winning actor, Tony was last seen starring opposite Martin Compston in the popular BBC1 drama series “Mayflies“, along with Sky Atlantic’s “Mary & George”, and the forthcoming Outlander prequel, “Blood Of My Blood”.
Tony commented: “As a fellow Scot from similar roots it has been great to watch the band grow – not just in Scotland and the UK but also internationally. When Jack approached me about the role I was immediately drawn to the story which involves a local cabbie watching his life flash before him in the course of one night. I’d never done a music video before, but my father was a taxi driver in Glasgow so here I am doing a full circle – it’s powerful and intense.”
Frontman, Jack Cochrane, added: “We first became fans of Tony’s when we saw him in Ridley Scott’s legendary film Gladiator and more recently his performance in Mayflies totally blew us away. To see a local lad from our neck of the woods on the big screen and doing so well is always inspiring. So when we heard Tony was a fan of ours and happened to be back home in Glasgow when we were shooting the video for Circles, we approached him and when he said he would be up for it.”
