Bristol rockers Area 11 have released the video for new track After The Flags. The single is taken from their second album Modern Synthesis which reached number 2 in the UK rock album chart and 27 in the UK album chart following it’s July release!

Bassist Kogie says; “‘After The Flags’ deals with themes of alienation, tribalism and the shift between nationalist and globalist societies. We wanted to write a simple hard rock song that’s full of energy and a which was slight departure from our more dramatic/electronic tracks.
We shot the video with Roger (who directed ‘The Contract’ video) at this really unique and historic location down South, at these huge acoustic sound mirrors – a long since defunct military technology. We chose this location for as the setting visually represents how ideas that once stood so tall can be soon left behind and forgotten. It was a long, cold and wet shoot, but was worth it to capture such an fascinating location.”

Alongside the video release, the quartet have put out a new EP! Let It Resonate which features acoustic versions of three Modern Synthesis tracks! Check it out here.

You can also catch the band on their headline run this month at the remaining dates;

13th – Glasgow King Tuts
