Lords of the Trident, fresh off their acclaimed rendition of Steve Winwood’s Valerie, now unveil “Jet Set City”, the fourth single from their upcoming EP V.G.E.P. (Video Game EP). This latest release, accompanied by a captivating music video, pays homage to one of the band’s beloved video games, Jet Grind Radio.
Frontman Fang VonWrathenstein explains:
In the early 2000s I bought a used Dreamcast from a friend, and it came with a copy of the game Jet Grind Radio. I couldn’t stop playing it! The look, the gameplay, and especially the iconic soundtrack captivated me. It quickly became one of the first games that I ever finished to 100% completion. When we were writing this EP, I knew I wanted this song full of rebellious vibes to be about the street-ruling graffiti gangs of Tokyo-to! It’s a bit embarrassing to admit, but in order to shoot the music video I had to slowly re-learn how to rollerblade. I had quite a few painful spills leading up to filming day!
