California power-pop and punk vets Redd Kross have released a new song, 'I'll Take Your Word for It,' along with an accompanying music video.
have released a new single, “I’ll Take Your Word for It,” from their upcoming self-titled double album, out June 28 via In the Red Records.
“I’ll Take Your Word for It” recalls the sunny West Coast harmony and jangle of Sixties rock, though the chorus still lands a few punk-infused punches. In a statement, Redd Kross co-founder Steve McDonald said the song is “based on real events,” but not “any specific person.” He added: “It’s an amalgamation of several types, that so-called friend that always seems to bring up the ex, or perhaps a working relationship that ended poorly despite your best and most earnest attempts at civility. ‘Are you my friend, are you my foe? I don’t know.’”
“I’ll Take Your Word for It” also arrives with a music video, directed by Steve Appleford, which finds the band performing the song on a Los Angeles hilltop with the Hollywood sign lurking in the background. “The video I suppose offers one possible antidote for this situation,” McDonald said of the clip’s relation to the song. “When you’re contemplating telling your nemesis to take a hike, maybe it’s smarter to put on your best suit, matching bass, and matching band and take a hike yourself.
