Following the May 26 release of their new studio album LONDON ROAD, London-based electro-rock hybrid band MODESTEP–brothers Josh (vocals and keyboards) and Tony Friend (DJ, and guitar), Pat Lundy (drums) and Kyle Deek (lead guitar)–have just premiered the video for the LP’s second single, “Rainbow,”featuring Dutch electro-hip-hop duo The Partysquad.

Described by the band as a tribute to the American party sound but dipped in London flavor, “Rainbow” is a dancehall-influenced number that is contagious and off-the-planet danceable. The video itself takes on a very British narrative, taking influences from Fight Club, the video follows the exploited of a man in this mid-40’s at the zenith of a mid-life crisis. Disillusioned with his life, he starts to reminisce about the glory years of his youth trying to break away from mundane city life.

“Rainbow” is featured on London Road, out now via Max Records/INgrooves.London Road comes complete with 12 intense, bass-laden tracks, all produced by Josh and Tony, who expand upon their rock, dubstep and electro hybrid sound to create a homage to their hometown.

“Rainbow” follows the album’s lead single “Machines,” the video for which, co-produced/directed by MODESTEP, was released in early May.  View it now here: http://bit.ly/1Ra5sL8.

About MODESTEP:
London Road, the new album from Modestep released May 26, say brothers Josh and Tony Friend, is the real deal, an accurate representation of the four-piece they’ve become, and a passionate tribute to their home city.  The success of Modstep’s debut album ‘Evolution Theory’ launched them into the A League after dabbling in music their whole lives. Tony came more from the DJ side of things, getting his first decks aged 13, while Josh was into practicing the musical aspect, learning piano from age ten and in bands forever. Just before things kicked off Josh worked in the Apple Store and Tony was at university.  Indeed their debut show was at the Download Festival. They’ve developed a fierce live reputation since evolving into an four -piece outfit who punch hard but also have versatility. They can fit on a bill at Reading, Ultra, Download or Coachella but are equally at home beside electronic names they were listening to in the run-up to the album  – Noisia, Squarepusher, Black Sun Empire, Neosignal, Nero, Justice, Amon Tobin and the like. And they can’t wait to take it back onto the stage, to globally show off an album they’re immensely proud of.  Modestep are back, they’re loud and they’re filled with fire. Watch out, world.
