Growing up in the remote part of Scotland on the Isle of Lewis wasn’t ideal for the members of One Big Fuse<\/b>. Nevertheless,\u00a0Scott Macleod (bass, vocals),\u00a0Calum Fraser\u00a0(guitar), and later drummer David Matheson, would find escape\u00a0by ripping MP3’s of bands such as Blink-182, Sum 41, Weezer and fellow Scots, Biffy Clyro.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to the present day and the trio have honed in on a power-pop sound that is directly influenced by those they spent their teenage years listening to. Having relocated to Glasgow,\u00a0One Big Fuse<\/strong>‘s latest single, ‘Swimming Pool’,<\/em> is a three-minute, upbeat slice of fuzz rock that wouldn’t sound out of place on an early Weezer record.<\/p>\n Despite its bright pop-punk leanings, the lyrical nature of ‘Swimming Pool’<\/em> isn’t so cheery, as the band tell us;\u00a0“The song is about dying \u2013 most of our songs are actually. We\u2019re a bit obsessed. \u2018Swimming Pool\u2019 is about the assumptions we hold about the notion of a peaceful end, and the way those assumptions are probably shattered when we crash through the \u2018pearly gates\u2019 in a tumbling wreck.”<\/em><\/p>\n Today, we’re premiering the video for ‘Swimming Pool’<\/i>. It sees Matheson and\u00a0Fraser take on the role of a crocodile and Superman respectively, as they chill out in a\u00a0paddling pool, only to be on the receiving end of some unruly child\u00a0play.<\/p>\n \u201cIn ‘Swimming Pool’, our two heroes find out that their aquatic retirement home is not all as it seems,\u201d explains the band. \u201dTranquility gives way to terror as the nature of their end becomes all too tangible.\u201d<\/p>\n
