Post Hardcore Duo JOHN Share Video For “Stadium Of No” From New Full-Length
JOHN—the post-hardcore London duo of John Newton (drums, lead vocals) and Johnny Healey (guitar, backing vocals)—released “Stadium of No,” the final track off their newly unveiled album Nocturnal Manoeuvres. Alongside the frantic, barn-burner of a track comes its off-kilter video directed by their friends Henry Dartnall and Thomas Bonsu-Dartnall of Young Knives, with the Dartnall brothers standing in on behalf of JOHN, while the Johns film the eye-popping performance.
“In parallel to the recurring motif of twenty-four hour work that runs throughout the album’s track listing, stadiums appear as hopelessly redundant monuments when they’re empty – only activated by the bodies that inhabit them. The song’s a nod to the often-overwhelming conditions of our present: a stadium-like crowd of opinions trying to shout on top of one another,” says Newton of “Stadium of No.”
