Turin Brakes Track of the day on Q

No Comments


Name: Turin Brakes
Track name: Time And Money
Hometown: Balham, London
Who? Duo Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian.
Why now? This is the video premiere for new single Time And Money – taken from new album We Were Here out 30 September – which sees the pair taking on the money men. “The video was inspired by the idea that the banker, as far as much of our society is concerned, is the modern day bogey man – representing the cause of our current pain,” they explain. “So that in a way the death of a banker and his burial represents the death of an era of irresponsibility by the privileged against the best interests of the many. Hopefully to be replaced by a new mindset.. that of responsibility and care for the majority.” The band hit the road in October.
