Manchester Punk Trio Aerial Salad have just released a brand new video for a brand new song called King Of The Grass, dedicated to their bass player Wimbo, who works for the local council.

You can watch the video for King Of The Grass here:

As guitarist and singer Jamie Munro explains it:

“I wanted a song where we could celebrate Wimbo. He is truly one of Manchester’s most treasured musicians, genuinely, most people that know Wimbo would take a bullet for him, the same can’t be said for some other “so-called-legends”- no one I know is taking a physical bullet for Noel Gallagher after coughing up the best part of 300 quid to see him.

Anyways, musical, mythical or moderate legend Mike Wimbo works at the council to help us pay for things like this EP and this music video, it’s a horrible job some days when it’s crashing down with rain and he’s picking up dead cats off pavements, but he has a positivity and enthusiasm for not letting “the bastards” grind him down, it’s inspiring, in a lot of ways, we all have our own grass, that looming dark cloud that comes to haunt your Sunday evenings, but fuck it, he’s the king of the grass our Mike, go be the king of your own grass, it’s now or never.”
