Frauds Launch New Single & Video ‘Ships’

Croydon post-hardcore power duo Frauds have revealed the video for their new single, Ships, which is now available on all good digital streaming platforms. The band recently signed to Alcopop! Records, and have announced details of their second album, Long Spoons, that is set for release on the 1st October. Ships is the third track to be taken from the album following on from well-received previous singles Copenhagen and Money Honey. Ships is another thick slab of juicy groove-laden riffage from the duo, bursting with fun and a dash of satire. The song’s narrative centres are a fictional ship called The Wishing Well and it’s unnamed captain.

Frauds are set to hit the road in support of the album later this year and will also be appearing at the Portals all dayer in London on the 31st July alongside El Moono, Asian Death Crustacean & more.

“I pictured someone similar to Daniel Plainview’s character in the film ‘There Will Be Blood’—a guy full of superficial charm who turns up in a small fishing community that functions perfectly without outside influence, yet he always manages to sell them the dream which inevitably destroys the community and the environment. He then sails off into the night having got what he’s needed and moves on to the next location to do it all again.”
