The Regrettes Release Politically-Charged Video For 'Seashore'
By: Caryn Robbins Jun. 12, 2017
LA-based punk act The Regrettes have released a politically-charged new video for their song, "Seashore," off their critically acclaimed debut album, Feel Your Feelings, Fool! Entertainment Weekly premieres the video today, describing the video as, "a big middle-finger to men who underestimate or belittle young women." The video features singer Lydia Night depicting scenes of oppressed women throughout history. Director Claire Vogel explains, "I wanted to pair the defiance of the lyrics with a handful of historical vignettes that embrace women taking control of situations that have held them back. I wanted each scene to hint at how people might have freely spoken their inner thoughts in those moments should they have had the privilege." Yesterday, the band kicked off a headlining tour across the U.S., which will be followed by a U.K. tour with SWMRS this fall. A full list of dates is below.

*With SWMRSLed by 16-year-old Lydia Night, The Regrettes have established themselves as a leading breakout band, earning buzz from Billboard, NPR, Vogue, BUST,and NYLON, among others, and recently scoring a sync of their track "Hey Now" in a Dunkin' Donuts TV commercial airing later this month. The band has toured extensively throughout the past year, including shows with Taco Cat, Sleigh Bells, Kate Nash, Peaches, Cherry Glazerr and The Frights.
Night (vocals, guitar) is joined by members Genessa Gariano (age 20, guitar), Sage Chavis (age 19, bass) and Maxx Morando (age 18, drums), who have collectively dominated the Los Angeles punk rock scene since forming as The Regrettes in 2015. Night's bashful, blunt attitude is reminiscent of Debbie Harry and Joan Jett, drawing listeners in to the band's infectious - and unapologetically honest - punk-driven pop songs.
