Raised By Owls – drop new single/video with a title too long for this subject line

No, this is not a cruel post-Halloween prank gone wrong. Your favourite comedy band RAISED BY OWLS really are back with a brand new single and an accompanying hilariously themed music video for the outrageously titled “My Optician Called Me A Poser Because I Couldn’t Read The Sanguisugabogg Logo”.

On the divine inspiration behind the new track and video, vocalist Sam Strachan states:

“This song and music video is about unreadable metal logos. A band’s logo tells you a lot about the band: their sound, their image, and whether or not your nan would approve of them. I’ve always been drawn to the more over-the-top ridiculous logos. If your logo looks like a pile of sticks or a doctor’s written note inked in gore, then I’m probably going to check out your band by default. Remember kids: the more illegible the logo, the greater the band!” 

If you can’t get enough of RAISED BY OWLS, then fear not. Regarding the band’s next chapter, Sam continues:

“This single ushers in a new era for the band as we start gearing up for a new record cycle. We’re always aiming to improve our output and push the band as far as it will go, whether that be sonically, visually, or in the live environment. This single is the next step in the band’s evolution; we’ve taken what we’ve done before and made it bigger and better in all areas.”

Have you ever wondered what you’d get if you mixed a metal show with a Saturday Night TV Gameshow? Neither have we, but regardless…
