Massachusetts-based punk band A Wilhelm Scream are excited to present the music video for “GIMMETHESHAKES,” the latest song to be lifted from the Thursday, April 14 release of the band’s first full-length offering in nine years, Lose Your Delusion. Another anthemic, fists-up ripper from the band’s forthcoming album, “GIMMETHESHAKES” is about the inconsiderate and self-centered people in modern society we are, unfortunately, forced to deal with daily.

Guitarist/vocalist Trevor Reilly had the following to share about the video: "Every once in a while, a rock video comes along like a subtle flowing violent whisper, that tests the limits of what is possible in this life, that stretches desperately at the very fabric strands of what it really means to be human … and what is … life? The frailty, the perseverance, the triumph and folly of existence. That makes us weep in reverence at greatness. This is not one of those videos.”

After all these years, A Wilhelm Scream have lived their lives and did whatever they needed to do to get to the point where they could assemble and write the songs that absolutely needed to be written. Each song on Lose Your Delusion is a product of never cutting corners at any point, be it with writing, recording, practice or performance. Providing commentary on the past few years and the toll it’s taken in regards to our collective stress, anxiety, frustration and panic, the album serves as a pillar in the band’s rich and evolving legacy.

“This is our most unapologetically earnest album to date,” said Reilly. “It's our fifth full-length record and it feels like our first in that we feel we have so much more to say and energy to put out into the world.”
