Wisconsin post-grunge band Carbellion dropped their new single “Barfight” today.

The song comes with a music video directed by Joel Nilsson, which can be seen below.

Drummer Brent Nimz said this about the visual:

“The video was filmed in two locations 4,000 miles apart. The bar footage was filmed in an old wood shed that director Joel Nilsson and his team in Sweden had transformed into a casual drinking establishment complete with white linen tablecloths, mood lighting and an old tube television blaring in the corner of the dining area. The characters in the bar scenes were played by members of the band Outshine. Carbellion and Outshine have a long history of touring together over the years so we thought it was pretty special to have our good friends included in our video.

The live footage of the band was shot inside the Andy Bohl Racing facility in Caledonia, Wisconsin. Andy competes in the Top Fuel Funny Car division of the NHRA and is a great supporter of the band. We thought it would be rad to set up our gear in his shop and get as loud as we could!”

Vocalist Cameron Kellenberger said this about the new song:

"People often come up to us after we perform saying that our music makes them want to fight... I have heard that quite a few times. We really felt this was a strong single for the new record and the feedback we have received echoed that sentiment. It’s got a great intro with thick drums and bass slamming into these big heavy guitars. I put a lot of sarcastic humour in the lyrics and played around a little with a few vocal stylings from verse to pre-chorus to call & response chorus parts. This one makes you want to drive fast and take chances. I mean, damn it feels so good to be alive right?”

“Barfight” comes from Carbellion’s forthcoming album Weapons of Choice, which will be released on March 17 via Eclipse Records. Pre-orders and pre-saves for the album can be made here.
