Trash Boat have shared a new music video for “Controlled Burn”, taken from their most recent album Crown Shyness. Watch the video now below.
Speaking to the music video, Trash Boat frontman Tobi Duncan said, “‘Controlled Burn’ is a song about responsibility, about recognizing all the problems in my life that are my own fault. All the things that are so easily fixed through just not giving in to instant gratification,” he said. “So obvious in theory but rarely practiced. Humble yourself to your own choices and learn to make the ones that feed your future rather than your present. Tear away a small piece to prevent the rest from falling apart. Control the burn before it gets to you.”
“The video represents the culmination of our live performance so far,” he continued. “How we’ve adapted our ‘close quarters’ style to fill out bigger rooms. We wanted to show our fans at their best, cutting loose and having as good of a time as we do every set.”
Trash Boat released Crown Shyness last summer via Hopeless Records. The album explores similarly disparate emotions, juxtaposing hard-fought introspection against external strife to create a propulsive, captivating blend of punk and melodic hardcore. It it was produced by Andrew Wade (A Day To Remember, Neck Deep).
