Kassandra Powell directs an absorbing comeback promo for Bimini, which shows that you can find glamour in the most unlikely places. The video for Rodeo opens with Bimini on a mechanical bull, shining bright as lights refract from the abundance of reflective monochromatic textures. Quickly bringing the concept back down to Earth, we realise this whole setup is in a typical British pub, and the punters are as about as apathetic to Bimini's performance as they come. But whilst most glare disapprovingly as Bimini continues to do her thing, one character breaks out of their passive state to get absorbed into the otherworldly trance of the music. The contrast of glossy pop concept and stoic public is a brilliant visual dynamic, and DoP Luke Dryden's cinematography captures the perfect balance of these two opposing styles.

The Chase cause chaos with everyone's favourite ska instrument, in Sophie Chatfield's delightful promo for Trumpet. Heading to The Marquis pub in Covent Garden, we see the group play their latest track to a crowd of uninhibited punters, whilst a hilariously-dressed bouncer hunts down anyone who might be sneaking the instrument into the venue. It's completely absurd and off-the-wall, and full of playful energy - and a brilliant introduction to the group."I really wanted to showcase the energy of The Chase in their live performances and the way they win over their audience," says Chatfield."I wanted a fun, chaotic scene that the viewer feels involved in (and a) light satire narrative that would seamlessly thread through the video. It imagines a tongue-in-cheek scenario - what would happen if everyone’s favourite ska instrument proved to be so mind-alteringly addictive that it was banned?"Within seconds of The Chase starting the song there’s madness wherever the eye can see: dancing on the bar, beers in the air, the pub’s excellently named landlord Tommy McGuinness leaping around like a lunatic. You might need to sneak off to the toilets to share some ‘Trumpet’ away from the glare of the meathead bouncers, but if something can bring this much happiness, how can it be wrong?"

Niall O’Brien directs an absorbing, ultimately tender video for Talos's returning single Dance Against The Calm. Shot in Cork, the hometown of the Irish indie/electronic musician otherwise known as Eoin French, the promo sees the lead character (played by Sam Keeley) hang out at a local pub, drinking away his demons and grappling with a storm of emotions. Enigmatic flashbacks offer a small glimpse into a narrative, but not enough for it to become a key part of the story. Not quite yet, at least. Instead, after a quick break outdoors, Keeley returns to the bar, and is immediately comforted by every one of the patrons, who wrap their arms around him in a giant hug, allowing him to express his emotions freely. “It’s a song about lost futures, and a nostalgia that we sometimes carry for things that could have been,” says Eoin French - aka Talos. And the video is the first chapter in a three-part short directed by O'Brien.

Maxim Kelly takes South London band Tiña down the pub for a heart-to-heart and some magic realism for their single Closest Shave. Taken from the band's acclaimed debut album Positive Mental Health Music, Kelly matches the breezy blend of surrealism and humour in the track with his inventive take on a one-shot video. It's a dreamlike journey into a cinematic London, a combination of the familiar and the off-kilter, that begins in a rain-lashed car park, past the band sheltering in a doorway, and then heading into the cozy indoors of the pub.With the song describing a chat between lead singer Joshua Loftin and his dad, and lyrics describing the world as “nervous like a big dinner plate”, Kelly makes the flamboyant frontman the focus of proceedings, popping up in different sequences, including talking to his actual dad Rufus in the video, surreally veering into an underground walkway, before completing a pub performance with the band, to an audience of men, slow-dancing with each other.Kelly used various methods to create this 'one-shot' - without calling upon motion control. His invention and resourcefulness has paid off with a result that's charming and cool. A joy to watch, in fact.

Will Nicholls directs a fun-filled promo for young London indie band Sterling Press, who turn up to play at a local pub and encounter a formidable pub landlady. The energetic performance video for Lots Of Noise stars Molly Hanson as the aforementioned landlady, seemingly unimpressed with the ska-influenced rock stylings of the fourpiece band - but it turns out she is on her own frustrated quest to be a star.With the help of great cinematography by Luke Scully and Hanson's full-blooded performance, Nicholls weaves the whimsical narrative with the band's high energy performance, and builds to a big climax. Do not mess with this lady...

Pip + Lib explore mental health and the stigma of speaking out, in their touching visual for HYYTS. In a nondescript pub, inhabited by a handful of regulars and an increasingly angsty bartender, karaoke night is in full swing. Adam from HYYTS is next up on-stage, singing along to barely readable lyrics on an old computer monitor. The poignant performance is in striking contrast to the emotionless audience, who represent a society that still very much believe in the idea of keeping a stiff upper lip and hiding any emotion. It's a beautifully minimalist piece, enhanced by the everyday, universal setting, and the Glaswegian pop duo's ability to visualise a whirlwind of emotion in a single glance or dance move. Emanating a sense of freedom and acceptance, the pair's interaction and support throughout the performance is refreshing and highly relevant, resulting in an unforgettably powerful concept. "We're really proud of the video we've made for SOS and even more proud to have debuted it on @brothersinarmsscotland," comment HYYTS. "We wrote SOS about mental health and specifically the stigma amongst men that comes attached to reaching out to other men for help so it's the perfect place to share the video for the first time."
