On the new single, vocalist / guitarist Tobie Anderson commented: "We couldn’t leave 'Miami Funk' standing on its own, so we decided we needed another ‘Merican city tune…even though only 50% of the band have ever been to San Fran…hell, I’ve barely left Yorkshire! 'San Fran' was written in between Big Sleeper being recorded and us heading out on tour with Black Peaks. It was written purely so we could play a new tune live. It’s so awesome to go out and play loud, sweaty shows, especially with a band like Black Peaks! We had the wonderful Mark Roberts not only record and mix 'San Fran', but he also wrote a considerable amount on the drums for that song!

"Lyrically it’s about how it felt for me when I found out my partner was pregnant. It's about not feeling like a 'proper adult' and being really scared of this next step in life. I was so worried that I was going to fail and I just felt like I needed to address that. I needed to swallow the whole sun before I was ready to become a father. It's about wanting to keep the status quo (not the band)! You've got this huge dump truck full of change heading towards a fragile life and you can see it coming but you can't stop it and you feel like you just want everything to stay the same. But at the same time you're super excited about this amazing life event. So I guess it's also about that duality. Thankfully, now I have a toddler, I feel much more prepared to be a dad...and it only took 2 years for me to get to that point!"

On the video he continues "We love old school horror movies, especially the blood drenched Evil Dead franchise…but we’re poor as f**k, so the only way we could get close to making our own was to do it with Barbies".

Hailing from Brighton, Intechnicolour are a riffy, groovy, rock band with a knack for creating a colourful song or two. Formed in 2015 through a want to play loud music through slightly broken amps, the basis of the band was created.

Comprised of members from the likes of Delta Sleep, LUO and Broker the five-piece are a fully-formed band of technically gifted musicians, cutting loose and playing music that’s about as far removed from their day jobs as it’s possible to get – and they are doing it better than a good portion of their contemporaries. Landing somewhere between the slack desert-groove of Kyuss and Karma to Burn, the band combine deeply satisfying riffs with a dynamic vocal style, which calls to mind the sounds of Baroness, Gojira and Mastodon.

Intechnicolour have previously toured across the UK and Europe with the likes of Physics House Band, Black Peaks, Town Portal, Bitch Falcon as well as Haggard Cat, and are gearing up to hit the road this autumn with dates to be announced very soon.

2022 will see Intechnicolour release their follow up to their hugely successful debut album Big Sleeper (2020, Big Scary Monsters), more news soon.
