Toronto punk outfit Bad Waitress are scheduled to release their debut LP No Taste on September 3rd.
Having already shared the song ‘Strawberry Milkshake’ which is featured on the forthcoming album, Bad Waitress now unveil the video for their second single titled ‘Delusions Of Grandeur’. Directed by Genevieve Blais, the visuals feature a slave-driving, cult-like leader who acts more reprimands the band for doing things like playing music after discovering instruments in a barn. The video takes a weird twist when a ritualistic supper finds the leader along with others transforming into animals.
No Taste will get released on Royal Mountain Records.
Regarding the single, Bad Waitress stated:
“When the wrong people get put into power, songs like this get written. It’s about wanting them to cut their teeth on the ground labourers have laid down for them. It’s an expression of classic working class frustrations; knowing those people, fuelled by their own greed and narcissism, will never see what you see – which we are reminded of daily on the news. We’re calling out a broken system with the hope and resilience to try to build something new. It’s a dynamic song that doesn’t go where you expect it to, complete with soaring vocals, bass breakdowns and disarming harmonies.”
