Drenge - Running Wild (Official Video)

[@hockeyboy246]

I don't agree with you guys who say the video doesn't match the song. This reminds me of when a school friend of mine, who lived on a farm, came in one morning and casually said he'd had to kill a sick rabbit by smashing a spade over its head. Life and death is different on farms, it's just part of everyday existence, and I think this song captures it perfectly. Drenge are good at this - their video for Backwaters focused on isolation in the country as well (that was my interpretation anyway) and there's a bleakness to the song that really matches the video. Also read the lyrics to this song - absolute fucking poetry. The first line in particular matches what the girl says - I think - about living and dying in one place.

[@chrisgreenwell511]

Quality tune, these guys should be as big as royal blood.

[@krashkow]

Chris Greenwell Yep. Can't figure out why that haven't just exploded yet.

[@Screech891]

+Chris Greenwell In good time my friend!

[@IsaacIsMopped]

+krashkow Kind of prefer the fact that Drenge are building up a decent fanbase slowly. Royal Blood got big too quick, last time I saw Royal Blood it consisted of half the crowd wearing 'edgy' leather jackets and white t-shirts. Plus, if i hear Little Monster anymore I'll fucking cry.

[@krashkow]

I really hope Drenge is gathering steam. They certainly expanded their sound nicely on Undertow. I live in the U.S. and Drenge is still pretty under the radar here (they're touring with Wolf Alice, though, which should help get their name out there). Royal Blood is better known. I see their t-shirts and a fair number of shows I go to and when I get talking to people about new rock they like, Royal Blood comes up somewhat frequently. Of course, this allows me a perfect in: "Oh, you like Royal Blood? Then you're gonna love Drenge..."

[@brenpersing]

+Chris Greenwell They called Royal Blood "pop". At least Mike can sing.

[@jamieskilt]

This is one of the best songs of 2015 - a real slow-burn.

[@germandarder6043]

Underrated, they are immense.

[@DavidHamiltonDJHammy]

The ghost of 80's Killing Joke bloody brilliant.

[@TheAnalPunisher]

and Therapy?

[@fokkawolfe]

Drenge just made farming cool... !!!

[@Floskeknosk]

The best "new" band during the last 10-15 years!! Come to Sweden guys!

[@menswear2112]

Ex-cell-ent band, their Undertow album is a very strong candidate for Album of the Year...hypnotising music!

[@edwardgibson4806]

Totally agree. For me it's between undertow and failures new album. Deftones will surely be up there as we'll but we'll see.

[@miked4309]

+Edward Gibson have not listened to Failure's new album yet. love lots of their stuff.

[@robertemanuel4959]

Drenge are magic. As simple as.....

[@johnmanduca779]

finally a good band! missed this kind of music :)

[@scottgriffiths7651]

I love love love love this intro and the whole song that follows

[@Hattipillar]

drenge deserve so much more views - i met them at latitude and they are the nicest guys ever, plus their set was insane!

[@AlejandraLopez-dk2nb]

love this song, grettings from mexico

[@rg_films267]

Seeing drenge and wolf Alice at Newcastle uni last Monday was fucking unbelievable !!

[@JCF.1977]

i blieve something just click in the back of my head and took me back to the 80's, thanks

[@annatstan]

This video is a masterpiece

[@therealmuckinfuppet]

I love this what more is there to say. Sheer perfection. Infinite applause *

[@fitz303]

[@tonymack66]

[@brianmonkey]

So beautiful, Drenge you are one of my favorite bands.

[@jukebox.monepyants]

This video made me energetic. I guess you could say its got me runnig wild...

[@taraanndonohue8940]

Here in NYC and I ♥️it 🎼🎶!

[@maytale.7184]

I hope I can still buy this CD cause I can’t find this song anywhere now but with this music video where talking is included halfway throughout the song 😑

[@jamiedouglass5195]

Stumbled upon these guys at Glastonbury this year. Blew my mind holes wide open.

[@justicejericho97]

Fantastic.

[@markobarrows]

What a great vid. Thank you...

[@daveembury602]

Just came across this beauty love it!

[@MrZochoR]

I don't get people comparing Drenge with Royal Blood. Trying to say that Drenge is bigger than Royal Blood is stupid. Stop trying to categorize every band, they are not the same at all, they don't play the same kind of music. They're both good in their ways.

[@dustyalbones-reendust4385]

Ikr, apples and oranges.

[@Shoegazings]

Drenge are shoegaze, Royal Blood are not. Big fucking difference.

[@Shoegazings]

Royal Bloodwho? This is hundred times better because it’s well-done shoegaze.

[@ylvawanstrand220]

Love this

[@TheAnalPunisher]

Love the guitar tone

[@jonathantalksphotography1876]

[@augustheals]

I am totally against having animals trapped in a cage, but I really like the video. It just tells the story about the animal human and the animal. Its just very real. I like Drenge

[@Jeff-ku1se]

[@faroukmohamad4062]

great one!

[@ZenZill]

So sad it took me this long to hear this tune.

[@ms-ke5os]

Brilliant video. I think it's the lead singer's family farm.

[@migueldelgado3603]

Este video deberia de tener millones de reproducciones

[@hickesy69]

Love this video with its mystic countryside vibes and I love the spacey guitar and riff. Any other contemporary bands like this that I should investigate?

[@okulerr]

Check out diiv

[@nickhynes9752]

Dunno about contemporary bands, but Drenge sound an awful lot like Killing Joke c.1985. Especially 'Night Time'.

[@hickesy69]

@@nickhynes9752 Yep I'm a big KJ fan that's why I like this :)

[@perfectklairity3694]

Come to Maine. We know about the backwoods.

[@JohnGallenIRL]

Come back to Ireland ! Saw you last year at Electric Picnic... a highlight for me :)

[@DWSully14]

Saw them at Longitude last night! Unreal

[@JohnGallenIRL]

DylFTWynne I didn't even know they were playing at that... Damn it ! They sure pump out a hard fantastic sound live :) ....next time!!

Nice video lads

[@ronport310]

Cool! They sound like soundgarden!

[@Bix12]

they sound nothing like soundgarden

[@michaelburman2108]

They may not sound like Soundgarden overall, but the guitars and drums in this song have a definite Soundgarden vibe.

[@adyrandom]

What an intro

[@Jeffersonbber]

nice to meet

[@_StarCorpse]

Lyrics : As you were, like a child Innocent and running wild And now you're old and you're grey-haired Your dead-eyed stare You're running scared When you were young the fires spread Southeasterly to Beachy Head And London's husk of burnt out rust That led the lungs a bag of dust Draw a line in the sand Coast to coast and man to man Repopulate the Sherwood Forest And lynch the deathly pale dishonest Carve a scar across the earth Visible from high above North and South, sever ties Kiss your enemies goodbye Hold my heart like a stone Over waters deep below And running home, through the night I was running fast I was running scared I was running wild

[@matthewriley81]

That's the girl from The Fall isn't it in the video?

[@CarlosRodriguez-zg9cv]

this is such a good f*cking song wow!!!

[@Jesusis_theway]

Just saw these guys last night with Wolf Alice... 2 words: 1) Blown & 2)Away.

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Reminds me of that old band Type O Negative

[@leighevans4019]

[@lavatramp]

fucking tune

[@stanevel7328]

Cycle of life and death,you can stop it,even if you wanted too

[@JohnPreston888]

A shame that Running Wild didn't seem to reach escape velocity. I think every aspect of it is brilliant. Strong vocals, great musical arrangement. I think the video is refreshingly engaging. (Kudos, "bops", but what does "rocker4577" think is a video with a "point"? Given the interesting subject matter, that the song pauses to give space for comtemplation, careful direction and a cast that isn't a bunch of short-lifespan, buff narcissists throwing themselves about, I recon it's a work of art. Oh, and aside from her mature wisdom and diffident charm, Ms. Richardson is as cute as a puppy 🙂. )

[@hannakinshela903]

didnt think they'd be allowed near a farm after the lyrics "never seen blood or milk mixed so divine" referring to a broken baby lambs neck but ok

[@kazzagm]

Reminds me of Killing Joke

[@oliverharper7411]

I can see where you're coming from with that one.

[@miked4309]

+kazzagm yeah, kinda. i hear wedding present too. i see people say they sound like Wolf Alice but i dont hear that...WA is more gazey than sludgy. love wolf alice by the way.

[@henryojgoodwin]
