FANS OF THE DARK – Video (2024) *HQ*
”Video” is the third chapter of Swedish act FANS OF THE DARK, the fun, retro Eighties band formed in 2020 by Freddie Allen, drummer and main songwriter, and lead vocalist Alex Falk, when they reconnected a few years after high school, with a vision to create a band which would mix the melodies and the approach of classic and melodic rock.
Allen explains the concept of the album: “The album ‘Video’ and in particular the song “Let’s Go Rent A Video” is about growing up in the ’80s and ’90s and how great it was to have access to a local video store. The whole idea about going there as a group or alone and deciding on what you were going to watch. It was something you could spend a whole night on, a pastime, something to occupy your thoughts for quite a while. These days we are struggling with our attention spans for just a few seconds. The video era was the opposite of that, everything took time”.
“In a way, listening to the album as a whole is also about that. It takes you on a journey through a lost era, but it is an era which you can rediscover and relive through great music and films. This album is our way of saluting that great era. The sound is a bit fluffier than the last two albums, which we hope might be to the liking of all you AOR lovers out there. This one’s for you”, continues Freddie.
