Watch The New HCBP (Members Of Heck) Video, The Patriot

HCBP are premiering their new video, The Patriot, exclusively with Kerrang!

The band is a new venture for Matt Reynolds and Tom Marsh of HECK, with The Patriot being the first taste of their music. Oh, if you’re wondering what HCBP means, then it stands for Haggard Cat Bothday Present.

Talking about the track, Matt Reynolds said:

“The Patriot is the first track on our upcoming album and also our first EVER music video so we thought we’d go big and just include everything we could think of. Some may refer to this as ’emptying our trick bag’ but we thought with attention spans at an all time low we’d better throw in the kitchen sink, so expect eagles, robots and even Jean Claude Van Damn at one point.”

“The song itself was inspired by a conversation with a random guy in a bar that I had late one night after a very long shift at work. I was chatting with a friend, we’d both just finished working in our respective bars and were switching horror stories from the night, just then a really drunk guy walks up to my friend and starts laying into her and telling her in great detail how he thought the bar she worked in was shit. Cue me launching into a long rant about us needing some down time too, and this late bar being our place to get that without some bozo approaching us and expecting us to pander to him like we’re still earning our measly minimal wage by the hour. A lot of drunken people behave like bar staff are here for their entertainment, they forget that we are actual human beings and that good manners are still very necessary. We’re here to help, but not here to endure as much
crap as they can throw our way. In short, be polite and tip your bartender.”
