\"Victory<\/p>\n

Last summer, we introduced you to Victory Lane<\/b><\/a>. Their debut EP, ‘Louder Than Words’<\/i>, was a punchy and sincere take on pop-punk, putting the Birmingham\u00a0based band on the map amongst a burgeoning underground scene.<\/p>\n

For the best part of 2018, the quintet has been working on their second EP – ‘Barebones’<\/em>. Produced by Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Trash Boat, Bullet For My Valentine and more), it sees\u00a0Victory Lane<\/strong>\u00a0grow beyond the confines of pop-punk and pop-rock with its first single, ‘Can’t Let You Back In’,<\/em> highlighting a more intense direction.<\/p>\n

Although ‘Barebones’<\/em> won’t see the light of day until next year, we’ve teamed up with Victory Lane<\/strong> to premiere the video for\u00a0‘Can’t Let You Back In’.<\/em><\/p>\n

We also spoke to vocalist\u00a0Dan Lamb about the band’s growth,\u00a0‘Can’t Let You Back In’\u00a0<\/em>and what we can expect from ‘Barebones’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

AH: ‘Can’t Let You Back In’<\/i> is the first single from your upcoming ‘Barebones’<\/i> EP. It’s an edgier effort compared to what we heard on ‘Louder Than Words’<\/i> EP. How has the band grown since last year’s EP?<\/b>
\nDan Lamb: First of all it\u2019s awesome that you noticed how different this record is in a sense of its edgier take, as that was something we really wanted to achieve with this EP. I can in confidence state that we\u2019ve grown hugely as a band in songwriting and our overall look on the band going forward. We wanted to step up with this EP and show our listener\u2019s lots of different sides to Victory Lane that we couldn\u2019t explore on ‘Louder Than Words’.<\/i><\/p>\n

AH: ‘Can’t Let You Back In’<\/i> is about the horrible truths that occur after a break-up. How does that idea link into the video we’re premiering today?<\/b>
\nDan: The videos idea came from the video’s director, Matty Daley, we knew we wanted one location that everything can be drawn to, this being the place the male is captured in. Matty was fantastic in helping us set up a scene and the idea of the male bound to a chair where throughout he tries to break free. The horrible truths in question are, who\u2019s to blame? And how do they move on from it? ‘CLYBI’\u2019s video shows the truths that the male thought he was to blame because he was held down and bound in that situation by the female. But as we come to find it\u2019s the female that was bound the whole time, it just took him time to realise this. <\/i><\/p>\n

AH: ‘Barebones’<\/em> is said to be more diverse and personal. What can you tell us about this?<\/b>
\nDan: With ‘Louder Than Words’ we made stories, (aside from ‘Who We Are’ \/ ‘Rainy Day’) something someone may go through in their lifetime. But with ‘Barebone”s we wanted to project moments we\u2019ve had. With loss, struggles and everything that brings you down to a point of complete self-doubt. <\/i><\/p>\n

‘Barebones’ is six tracks that all relate to one or more of our members. It also has very diverse songs throughout, coming from a dark place to a place of freedom and joy. We also want people to realise the message of ‘Barebones,’ to not fear in showing what lies underneath all the trials we undertake every day. Everyone should be honest and self-right. Not being put off from your stripping back and revealing your Barebones.<\/i><\/p>\n
