New Holy City video from riff-mongers Skam
The new single comes from the forthcoming Peacemaker album, out in July

Starting with a quote from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and proceeding with some surprising ninja action, the new video from from Leicester's Skam finds the hard-gigging trio in an dilapidated church.
Skam describe themselves as “British hard rock for a new generation”, and feature Steve Hill (vocals/guitar), Ray Perevill (drums) and Matt Gillmore (bass).
Back in Classic Rock 196 we described the band as “Part Foo Fighters, part Queens Of The Stone Age, before going on to say that “three-piece Skam look like they have been doing this for years.” Now you can decide for yourself.
