Battle Tapes are currently putting the finishing touches on their Form EP, due out on June 9th. Today they have partnered with Huffington Post to announce a string of tour dates at the beginning of this summer and unveil the video for the first single from the project, a hypnotic dance party gem entitled “No Good.” When asked what inspired the alluring video, Josh Boardman (guitar/vocal/synth) shared “Making a video is something that I’ve always shied away from – not for any particular reason, other than the fact that it’s way more complex and daunting than creating static artwork. When I started to develop a visual theme for this phase of the band, it was important to make sure all the dots connected across the board – music, artwork, web, videos. Once I started on the artwork, I could see how the graphics could cross over nicely to a music video, which inspired me to finally overcome my hesitation and see what I could come up with.”
