SALT RIVER SHAKEDOWN return this week with the release of their latest single Fight or Flight.

The blues-rock four-piece follow up on their last track Sign of the Times, which was unveiled earlier this year.

And this time, the band has have put together a quirky DIY video, recreating some of film's most iconic scenes and shots.

Fight or Flight is a whistle-stop tour of big-budget cinema with the viewer taken on a blockbuster journey, laced with some Be Kind Rewind vibes.

Included are homages to Die Hard, Jurassic Park, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, The Matrix, Harry Potter, The Shining, Toy Story, Ghostbusters, Shaun of the Dead, Love Actually, Alien, Jaw, The Empire Strikes Back and The Breakfast Club.

It was recorded at Unit 55 and produced by the band's own guitarist Alek McMillan, and keeping in line with the DIY production of the single, the accompanying music video was directed by the band's drummer Jake Mackie-Duncan.

He said: "We wanted to make a music video based around recreating iconic movie scenes, using only ourselves as actors, with cheaply made props and a phone camera.

"The band are big movie buffs and wanted to make something that was a tribute to some great classic movies...and a few not so great.

"The video took a huge amount of planning and prep to pull off, complicated further by having to work around Covid-19 restrictions.

"Between time and location issues, and trying not to burst out laughing midway through a take, we eventually pulled it off and we're so excited to finally share it with everyone."

It has been an interesting year for the band, which also saw a line-up with a new vocalist recruited in the form of Griff. 

However, with Sign of the Times turning heads already, and the release of Fight or Flight this week, 2021 is set up to be another huge stepping stone for Salt River Shakedown.

Fight or Flight will be released on Friday, October 30.
