Yak rev up for ‘Use Somebody’ video
Track is taken from debut album ‘Alas Salvation’.
Sod the new Top Gear line-up - Yak are making a case for being the country’s foremost car experts (#accidentalpartridge), in their 100mph ‘Use Somebody’ video.
The ‘Alas Salvation’ track gets a green screen treatment, Oli Burslem and co cruising through city streets without a care in the world. True to form, it’s a dark twisted spin on an all thrills car chase, the greatest on-road danger being the frontman’s inability to keep the wheel. Eyes on the road, Oli.
