The track is the fifth from the fierce and exciting rising band.

Earning a deserved reputation for their abrasive and cutting edge brand of alternative rock, South London’s videotapes. boast an angular and off-kilter appeal that evokes the spirit of groundbreaking artists like At The Drive-in and Mogwai and injects the sound with a fierce, modern edge.

Their latest single ‘bedlam’ explores witch trials and their unjust nature, exploring the theme from the perspective of those that are accused and tried for such crimes. The sinister and atmospheric nature of the track captures the essence of the narrative perfectly, with intense riffs and ferocious vocals making for a track that sticks to you with an uneasy memorability. Equal parts anthemic and demonic, the new single does a great job of highlighting the unique cham of the band and continuing to establish their raw power.
