Blitz Kids Premiere Music Video For Inspirational New Single ‘Keep Swinging’

Back in October, we revealed that Blitz Kids would be releasing 'Keep Swinging' as a single and the boys have now released the song's video!

The inspirational track is all about overcoming your troubles. When you're down, keep swinging and make sure to get back up again. We'd say that 'Keep Swinging' is slightly more pop than the band's previous releases so we're hoping that it'll get tons of airplay over the next few months; it certainly deserves radio support.

In the video, we see a boxing match between Brock O’Hurn and Daniel Garcia who literally take a swing at each other. There's also various shots of lead singer Joe doing what he does best and all in all, we'd say that it's a great video. It would however have been nice to see more shots of band members: Jono, Nic and Matt.

Reacting to the overwhelming response online, Blitz Kids tweeted: "We're so happy to see so many of you loving the new video. Now spread it around the Internet like a nice helping of crunchy peanut butter."

We caught up with Blitz Kids during their headline UK tour last year and you can check out our exclusive interview with the talented rockers here. They spoke about: life on the road, recording 'The Good Youth' in Los Angeles, their favourite music video to shoot, who they'd love to collaborate with in the future and much more.

'Keep Swinging' is currently available on Blitz Kids' incredible album 'The Good Youth' which was released last year. It follows the record's brilliant previous singles: 'Sometimes', 'On My Own', 'Run For Cover' and 'Perfect'.

Alternatively, you can download the official 'Keep Swinging' EP here on iTunes. The EP features two b-sides: an acoustic version of 'Keep Swinging' and the band's rocked-up cover of 'Steal My Girl' by One Direction.
