Oxford Pop Punk Sextet Better Than Never have today released their latest single, Dreamland Ain’t All It’s Cracked Up To Be. Taken from sophomore EP, Head Under Water released via Fox Records in December, vocalist James Harris says of the video: ‘We wanted to have something that showed how difficult it is when you live in a land of disbelief: trying to convince yourself you’re happy and have friends, when the truth is you feel so alone.

‘The first part of trying to fix a problem is realising you have it.’

Completed by vocalist/guitarist Will Keating, guitarists Max Peniket and Jim Allsop, bassist Jake Aitman and drummer Alex Hinton-Smith, the 6 strong crew that are Better Than Never, decided to take maximum advantage of their girthy line-up during the EP’s writing process. The members sat down as a group and worked together on every track for several months, trying to perfect every aspect. As James recalls, ‘We didn’t hesitate to pull something we’d written apart, even if we were happy with it, just so we could find tiny ways of making it more unique and stand out.’

The same was true for lyrical content, with these having to obtain every member’s seal of approval, in order to achieve ‘a more mature and meaningful step-forward’.
