The new track is their fifth from the upcoming third album “Love No Less Than A Queen” which is due on 20th August.
“For me it’s about when you’re scared and trapped indoors together with someone you love, for what feels like forever, it’s touch you need, life you want, and shoot the lights when you dare“, frontman Jack Jones commended on the single.
“Shoot The Lights” has a moody, dark vibe and the video, directed by Roger Sargent, perfectly indicates that. Sargent explained that the video concept is: “coming out of lockdown, with all the bright lights being tantalisingly close, both figuratively and literally and the toll it’s taken on everyone’s mental health“. He also directed Trampolene’s “Gotta Do More Gotta Be More“.
Trampolene announced the new album back in April, which was originally due to be released on 16th July. “Love No Less Than A Queen” will include all the previously released singles: “Oh Lover“, “Gotta Do More Gotta Be More” and “Come Join Me In Life“. The album can be pre-ordered here.
The band, alongside other musicians, joined this year’s initiative #SaveOurVenues to help to raise awareness of venues that because of the pandemic are at the risk of closure. Jones commented about the campaign: “Without these independent venues, there is nowhere for artists to learn their craft. It’s hard enough to find new headline acts for festivals every year, and if we lose these venues, it will make things nigh on impossible. I would hope that as long as there are kids with dreams there will always be independent venues“.
Trampolene will play few shows this year.
Tickets can be purchased here.
18/08/21 – The Deaf Institute – Manchester

Love No Less Than A Queen is due to be released on 16th July 2021 via Pete Doherty’s record label Strap Originals. They have also shared a brand-new single, Gotta Do More Gotta Be More. 

Lead singer Jack Jones said of the release: “The album was a way of me summing up my life so far. It made me search into myself and understand that life really is a gift after all and that being at peace isn’t wrong or something you don’t deserve and it actually makes things better that way.” 

 “We’re all told we can be better, we can do more. It’s not always true. Repeat it so often it becomes hypnotic and surreal and loses any sense or meaning. Then you’re free to relax and be yourself.” 

The video for the new single was directed by Roger Sargent, who has also directed videos for The Libertines, Parma Violets, and Echo & the Bunnymen. The video shows the trio in the countryside, with fog and helmets adding an apocalyptic vibe. The band have also released an album trailer to give fans a sneak preview of the album. 

Trampolene is formed of bassist Wayne Thomas and drummer Jay Bone alongside Jones. Their first singles, My Bourgeoisie Girl/Under the Strobe Light and You Do Nothing For Me/Adrenaline, came out in 2013. Their debut album Swansea to Hornsey was listed as number 10 in The Independent’s 30 Best Albums of 2017. In 2019, the band played in support of Liam Gallagher and The Libertines. 

Gotta Do More Gotta Be More follows tracks Oh Lover and Come Join Me In Life, released in March and February respectively. Trampolene are set to perform three gigs in August 2021 –  at Deaf Institute in Manchester on 18th, The Globe in Cardiff on 19th, and Moth Club in London on 20th.
