Spring King’s new ‘Detroit’ video is quite something

Spring King have always been ones for slightly bonkers videos, but their new ‘Detroit’ clip definitely takes the biscuit.

With the band themselves playing the cast of Euro Lover, a (hopefully) fictional spin on Blind Date, things go from one to eleven pretty sharpish. Pete’s dressed up as a glamorous lady. Tarek’s reliving his nerdy childhood. Andy’s a frankly terrifying, definitely-a-bit-racist contestant. James has swapped the bass for The Worm. It’s all fairly scarring to be honest, long before Tarek and Pete shack up and head to that titular city.

Dive in below, if you’re mentally prepared. Catch up with our Spring King feature from the June 2016 issue, while you’re at it, and pop along to one of Spring King’s massive incoming UK dates if you know what’s good for ya.
