Now Sumo Cyco and Benji Webbe (of Skindred fame) are some strong lads and lass as they’ve filmed a video of themselves moving mountains! Well okay, maybe not but that is the title of the Canadian punk-metallers new single featuring the Welsh alt-legend.
Moving Mountains is taken from the quartet’s forthcoming record Opus Mar, set for release on March 31, 2017. Frontwoman Skye Sweetnam says of the collaboration with Benji; “As a band that formed after being inspired by ‘Babylon’ by Skindred, it’s absolutely surreal to have collaborated on a song with Benji Webbe. Back in 2015, our UK tour ended in Wales. I knew we were going to be close to Benji’s hometown of Newport, so I asked if he’d be down with us coming to film a music video for “Move Mountains”. Not only did Benji invite us to film at Dub War’s rehearsal space, but he took us out for drinks to the local pubs and we had the best night. This is how we experienced meeting one of my all time favourite vocalists –
INSANE!!”
Insane it is indeed, we’re sure that the Sumo Cyco lot thoroughly enjoyed that night out in Newport, I mean who wouldn’t… No honestly, Benji, you should have let them loose in Swansea or Cardiff, not Newport…
Anyway, I digress, back to the topic of this post, the new video. It’s a super cool one, so check out Moving Mountains below;
SUMO CYCO will embark on their first co-headline tour of the UK in March 2017 with New Zealand alt-metallers DEVILSKIN and their first headline gig in Hull, UK, with a European tour supporting (HED)P.E thereafter.
“We honestly can’t believe the amazing response we’ve been getting from the UK audience. We’re so stoked to be able to invade again, the band is ready to rock some new tunes and take names!”
