The ‘Make Up’ EP is out Monday 18th August (Criminal
Records)
Grunge trio The Kut have released their brand new video for
‘Mario’, a track taken from their forthcoming Make Up EP, slated for release on
the 18th August.
Featuring a post-apocalyptic narrative, vocalist Maha
explains the concept: “The idea of Mario was about frustration, with the
industry and the scene. The concept that as kids we were made a lot of
promises, but the reality is that all that’s left for us is a waste land. We
are the forgotten generation.” Recalling the filming process, she went on
to say “We had a lot of fun making it, jumping fences and scaling floors on
the outside of broken buildings to get certain shots”.
The Make Up EP is available to pre-order in a music &
video bundle at http://thekut.bandcamp.com
