Yorkshire alternative rockers Hands Off Gretel have revealed the video for their next single ‘I Want The World’, taken from their forthcoming album of the same name.
The attitude-oozing video features the band taking over a skatepark, check it out below:

Vocalist Lauren Tate had this to say about the album:
“I Want The World is a song about how I’ve always felt since I was young. It’s me pouting like a child and saying ‘no! I want more than what this world is going to give me.’ I channel Veruca Salt from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory when I sing it. I am being obstreperous and impossible like a child, kicking and screaming until I get what I want… It feels like I wrote this album 6 years ago in a school toilet whilst skipping class and hiding from the world,” continues Lauren. “The way I felt so ostracized and alone like I didn’t fit in anywhere. It became my mission to sing for the outcasts, the weird kids, the ones that feel mis-represented in society and left behind like I do. I made it my obligation at 15 to make as much noise as possible as a young woman, to challenge everything.”
The album includes singles ‘SASS’ and ‘Kiss Me Girl’ as well as 10 other new tracks.
