Syndey-based alt-rockers RedHook have dropped a new video for their track “Cannibal”, directed by Colin Jeffs. The track features a guest spot by Alpha Wolf frontman Lochie Keogh, who also makes an appearance in the clip. Speaking of the video, RedHook frontwoman Emmy Mack said:
“Despite the raunchiness of this clip, the whole shoot was actually super wholesome! I was genuinely so nervous about challenging myself to pull off a ‘sexy’ vibe on camera and wanted to make sure I didn’t mess it up, so I tapped a bunch of my mates to come join me in the clip for moral support. It ended up being one of the best shoots RedHook has ever done! It felt like one giant slumber party, everyone dressing up, giggling, and having the best time. And I can’t thank all the girls, in particular, enough for empowering and uplifting me so much with their confidence, talent and boundless positive energy.”
Said “raunchiness” actually let to some unexpected censorship restrictions. Mack elaborates on this “ultra-censored” version that has premiered:
“That was very confusing and disappointing news. But I’d like to give our director Colin Jeffs the biggest of shoutouts for still managing to make the clip slap so hard despite having more than half the footage we shot deemed too spicy for the internet. But we figured, hey if we’re going to be this heavily censored, we might as well lean into it. We set out to inject a bit more sexual liberation into heavy music, so hopefully, the censored version is still sufficiently horny for you.”
“Cannibal” is out now and available at this location. RedHook will be out in August and September on some headline shows. The tour will feature support from The Beautiful Monument, Eat Your Heart Out, and Patient Sixty-Seven. Get the dates below.
