FEET share new single ‘Outer Rim’

FEET have shared their new single Outer Rim, which is lifted from their debut album ‘What’s Inside Is More Than Just Ham’. The LP is due for release on October 4 via the band’s very own Clapped Records. Outer Rim is a blistering indie-punk track, featuring not only one of the best uses of “oi!” in a pop song ever, but an incessant nee-gnawing hook that The Buzzcocks would have been proud of.

The single is accompanied by a video – written & directed by frontman George – which sees the band ditch their cowboy hats from Ad Blue, this time taking up the roles of detectives in hot pursuit of aliens, disguised as stiff-necked policemen. Watch the video clip via YouTube below.

Talking about the origins of Outer Rim, FEET commented: “The song started out under the alias Prang Meets Pong Meets Peng Meets Ping, since those were the only viable adjectives at the time with which we could describe it. We soon came around to rationality and scrapped the whole bastard thing. Using the remaining debris, the song was soon reinvigorated into a punky-boi, with lyrical inspiration coming from seeing a shooting star whilst at our summer retreat”.

The single then morphed into a new alias ‘Mel Gibson’ and was taken to the band’s album sessions “where a fresh-faced Ben Firth ‘mozammed‘ all over it, adding an extra minute to the workload” explain the band. “We were then put in touch with Mel Gibson’s lawyers, who, enraged with the title, threatened to release the unseen third instalment of Passion of the Christ. With the sanity of humanity at stake, we scrapped the name and decided a lyric from the song was much more, you know, not Mel Gibson. Thank us later”.

FEET have spent much of their time this year on the road, playing a number of sold-out dates across the UK, earning a reputation for their hugely entertaining live performances. Following tours with Declan McKenna & Honeyblood, the band continue their festival season with upcoming slots at Truck, Y Not, Boardmasters & recently announced Reading & Leeds Festival on the BBC Introducing Stage.

The band won’t rest there because they’re hitting the road for an 18-date headline tour in October/ November, in further support of their hotly anticipated debut album ‘What’s Inside Is More Than Just Ham’.
