Sydney Punk Act Clay J Gladstone Return With New Video For “People Like You”
Sydney-based punk rock group Clay J Gladstone have made a strong impression since their formation in 2020. With a handful of singles under their belt, the latest addition is the hot-headed track “People Like You”, featuring quick-firing changeups and unapologetic energy.
Opening with an indie pop verse, the punk group eventually flaunt their intensity with a blistering chorus about escaping an abusive relationship. “The track is about escaping an abusive relationship and going out in a blaze of glory,” says lead singer Clay J. “Being told you’re not good enough only to realize you’ve been bullied into submission and need to cut them lose“.
Alongside the release is the cinematic music video, filmed, directed and edited by Adam Williamson. Featuring eye catching visuals and set designs, the band turn their performance into a metaphorical three part visual. “The story line follows the concept of the track: breaking free of an abusive relationship,” explains Clay J. “There are 3 locations to depict the relative stages in the relationship. Firstly, the light box to depict being stuck in cage; secondly, the dark bedroom with photos on the wall acting as memories; and thirdly, the bright park to represent breaking free.”
