Dolores Forever Release Video For New Single ‘Not Now Kids’

“‘It’s Nothing’ is one hell of a something, made by a band that truly are the real deal. Dolores Forever? Yes please.” 

– 4* Dork Magazine

One of the UK’s finest rising acts, Dolores Forever, have released their sublime debut album It’s Nothing. Alongside the release the band have also dropped the tongue-in-cheek video for their new single ‘Not Now Kids’.

The album opener, ‘Not Now Kids’ pokes fun at patronising politicians thinking they know better. “This was the last song we wrote for the album,” the band said of the single. “It’s a bit of a scathing look at the world and the people who are running it with impunity, the feeling of being told to shut up while watching your house burn. What can we say, we love an apocalyptic bop.”

“Working across the visuals allowed me to play with the narrative of female friendship – which is not only a theme that runs through my personal work – but is prevalent throughout their lyricism and attitudes,” director Francesa Allen mentions on the video. “Our small all-female team, Katya Bourvis (choreography) and Carmen Pellon Brussosa (cinematography), helped bring the story to life.” Watch the video HERE.

After a huge summer of festivals across the UK and Europe, Dolores Forever are taking their captivating live show on a run of headline dates across the UK this November. Kicking off in Bristol on November 4th, the run will see Dolores Forever play five dates across the UK, including a date at London’s Village Underground on November 5th. Tickets available HERE.

At the heart of Dolores Forever there’s an infectiously playful, unapologetic feminist energy, and now, the London-based band are ready to release their debut album. It’s a “punchy indie-pop record about feminism, friendship and navigating a messed up world. It blows our minds that the music industry is obsessed with hearing from people who are just 21. As we’ve gotten into our thirties, we have so many more stories, and so much more to say.”

Julia, from Copenhagen, co-wrote the winning 2013 Eurovision entry for Denmark, Only Teardrops, while Hannah, from London, has written with Kylie and Stormzy. 

Dolores Forever are building unstoppable momentum.
