WATCH: ‘Glass N Sparks’ – a new video from French pop-punkers South Berkley

France isn’t necessarily the first location that comes to mind for pop punk exports, but a few great bands have emerged over the past few years including Connies and the truly excellent Shapers.

Here’s another new band from France – South Berkley, a four piece outfit that should appeal to lovers of post-‘Take Off Your Pants…’ era blink-182.  Their second single ‘Glass N Sparks’ provides a decent teaser for their debut LP (‘Too Slow’), which is due this summer.

Their new video, capturing the band in a rehearsal space and a few other places,treads that fine line between DIY and glossy, complete with a bass player who’s convinced that the era of beards is on the way out and there’s a moustache revival just around the corner.  Musically, it’s selection of choppy chords, slight emo leanings and all round melodicism bodes well for the band’s success in the immediate future.
