What makes a good music video? Is it a bravely original concept? Is it a spectacular location? Is it a strong and unusual narrative? Or is it just the girl from the Wonderbra advert crawling around in a bikini chopping up bananas with scissors?
Of course, we all know the real answer is the last option, and that's just the thing that spanking new band The Rain have given us. Here's all we know about The Rain so far: there's three of them and Colin Murray quites like them. But, despite our thundering lack of The Rain knowledge, we can't help but be impressed by their debut single Big Lie. After opening with one of the most oddly disconcerting chanted intros in living memory, Big Lie by The Rain quickly evolves into a steamlined rock animal that wouldn't sound amiss on a Foo Fighters or Queens Of The Stone Age album. Big Lie by The Rain is quite literally rocking, and shifting it out of our internal jukebox is going to be tougher than we thought. Plus the Big Lie video by The Rain features Eva Herzigova off the bra adverts chopping up bananas with a pair of scissors. What more could you possibly need?
