Chook Race Drag The Exercise Gear Out From Under the Bed For Their New Video

The jangly riff and melody of Chook Race’s “Hard to Clean” will stick with you longer than the well-intentioned but ultimately futile exercise routine you’ve marked out on your bedroom wall.

The video for the track, that is taken from the Melbourne three-piece’s second album Around the House, has the band breaking out some old school exercise equipment that’s taking up space in the spare room and doing a few reps of sunny pop.

Featuring the dual vocals of guitarist Matthew Liveradis and drummer Carolyn Hawkins, it’s a song, though simple, that bops along at an infectious pace/glide/step/curl.

“Hard to Clean” follows “Sometimes", a song that we premiered back in June.

Chook Race are about to head to the US which will include an appearance at Goner Fest and a show in Atlanta with fellow Melbourne band Power.

'Around the House' is available Sept 2 through Trouble In Mind records.
