“This short film provides a cinematic look at, and explanation of, the historical social romanticism of the seaside town, interlaced with and preceded by the stark comparison of its underlying social issues and images of decay and degradation,” the band told Prog.

Narrated by Robert Foulds, directed by front man Bobby Pook and sound-tracked by the band, the film features excerpts and tracks from their forthcoming debut full length album.

“Fragments Of A Dream attempts to show the reality of a once thriving seaside town, now a shadow of its former self,” continue the band “That being said, Blackpool is still home to us, so we tried to create a movie that showed the positivity and bizarre charm of the town, the light in the darkness so to speak. We wanted to give an accurate portrayal of our home town, looking at both the good and bad, and think we managed to achieve that with this short film.

“We had Bobby’s Grandfather narrate the movie, to give the feature a voice of the ‘better days’ of the town – having the voice of yesterday describing today’s Blackpool gives the film an extra layer of nostalgia for the town remembered so fondly by older generations.”

The band’s long-awaited debut album How To Let Go is set for release on 18^th May via Music For Nations (Sony) and will be released on CD, vinyl and digital formats, available to preorder now: http://smarturl.it/BK_HTLG

The album’s lead single ‘Worlds Collide’ was recently added to the Spotify New Music Friday playlist, and has received airplay from Alex Baker at Kerrang! Radio and Daniel P Carter at the BBCR1 Rock Show.
