New music: Portasound -- Dreadnought

HOW'S this for a music video? Instead of spending millions (well, probably hundreds in in Portasound's case), why not put your pulsating instrumental over one of the 80s' most-loved sci-fi movies?
It's exactly what Portasound have done with single Dreadnought - and funnily enough it works!
Portasound's energised 80s synth-rock is a frenetic tour-de-force, that's sharper than Corey Feldman's mullet in The Lost Boys.
They've already performed with Metronomy, The XX and Friendly Fires, and are destined to breakthrough to mainstream air-play following the release of debut EP The Second Renaissance on May 14.
Their promo warns listeners to 'Brace yourselves for a high-speed 22 minute sonic journey atop a giant synth with the legs of a horse and head of a Minotaur!'- it's hard to argue with them!
The Second Renaissance is out on May 14, via Blood & Biscuits.
