We wanted this video to be an organic representation of adolescence, growing up, and the moments that help define us as human beings. To keep the filming aspect of this video as organic as possible we shot everything with a documentary style. Allowing the friends to exist in a space and capturing moments that made them unique.'

UK-based Bad Sounds are excited to reveal a video for their track “How Are You Gonna Lose?” The band directed the clip and Flood Magazine premiered the video noting, “'How Are You Gonna Lose?' injects some serious soul into Bad Sounds' panoramic pop, lush with Motown horns and crisp, falsetto vocals. ” Bad Sounds state, “We have a real soft spot for budget horror and kung fu movies, you can see a recurring style in all our videos and influences in our music too. The inspiration for the video came from watching Dario Argento's 'Suspiria' and falling in love with its aesthetic. It's a classic case of style over substance but it's done so well that it's easy to forgive. The sets and lighting are so bold and in your face that it really feels like it's set somewhere other than 'real life'. It seems to us that people are most creative when they have less to work with, and we find ourselves personally drawn to simple ideas that are done with style and care. We wanted to create something very simple and to show who we are, performing as individuals, shot in one take on 16mm film.' Watch “How Are You Gonna Lose?” here:
