Today’s #VideooftheDay comes from Dublin alt-rock idols HAVVK – an explosive power anthem with a noirish and brilliantly nightmarish video (don’t watch this one without a pillow to hide behind!)

Daylight Robbery is a song about the safe spaces we create for ourselves, and the exhaustion of feeling scrutinised outside of these boundaries. Lead singer Julie Hough elaborates,

“to us, community is so central to self-expression, but we’re living in a reality where communities and culture are becoming out priced and fragmented, and where people’s identities and bodies are becoming more politicised and up for debate. There is something sacred about having four walls or even an online space in which you feel like home – where you feel like yourself”.
