In support of their debut record, The Orchard have released the first video to accompany the Dead Town EP. ‘Dead Town’ was shot in the bands dreary & menacing Midlands home town.

The dive bar that the band played for the shoot, turned out to be a bad choice of venue as the regular clientele took badly to the band’s music and fans. The video shoot was cut short as ‘the locals’ became more and more agitated, taking the mic from lead singer Andy McQueen, insulting and threatening the bands fans. As the regulars began gathering outside as well as inside the venue to get at the band and their fans a strategic decision to cut and run out the back door was made before any serious damage could be done. It is certainly never dull in Dead Town.
