UK band Pharmacists dropped brand new video “Heart of the Nation”

Heart of the Nation was shot on location in Bristol and Diss (Norfolk).

The song and video is essentially a commentary on where some people find themselves today; which is to say let down, and betrayed either by government or themselves.

About Pharmacists:

“I started Pharmacists because without creativity in my life I essentially wither away into nothing. I’ve been writing songs for a long time but struggled to ever really grasp a sound. I was driving my car one day and unearthed a Lemonheads album; “It’s a shame about Ray” stuck in my head.

It’s one of those ‘great albums’.

Shortly after this I saw Weezer live and something undeniable clicked. I just wanted to write trashier, guitar lead songs with a vocal that was more sardonic, even soporific. The greatest thing to ever come out of Florida was Tom Petty and I stand by his craft, he was master. I once stood on a beach in Thailand and heard “The Waiting” by Tom Petty followed by “Archie, Marry Me” by Alvvays.

It was while later I wrote “Heart of the Nation”, and wanted to fuse those two influences together. When it comes to the driver behind my music it’s very simple; the state of our country and loss. After losing my dear father to meningitis when I was 20, I saw into an abyss that has always been within touching distance. When Brexit loomed and the bile that presented itself to the country it also changed me. In a way loss is beautiful because you do evolve, but sometimes what is left behind calcifies into a savage darkness…

Bring me Weezer, Petty, The Lemonheads, Alvvays and the new hope that Rock n Roll will never die, and i’ll ensure to inject it into something that people will come to see.
