This morning, we’re joining forces with Boston four-piece Latch to share their brand new live video for “Famous Athletes,” a contagious pop-rock jam taken from their debut EP of the same name. Clocking in at just over four minutes, the clip—recorded at The Bear’s Den in Attleboro, Massachusetts—acts as a perfect introduction to the outfit’s airtight live show, and will almost certainly sit well with fans of Polar Bear Club and other accessible alt-rockers. Check it out below.

Speaking on the track, vocalist Steve Furtado shared:

“This song went through about four different versions before I even sent out a demo of it to the guys, with the main riff of the chorus being the only part that remained unchanged in the final version. Once I brought the song to the other guys in the band, things came together a lot more smoothly. The build-up and ending just sort of happened through collaborative effort. As for the lyrics, the song is mostly about accepting that you are not perfect. It is sort of saying that I am tired of pretending to impress anyone, and more importantly not running away from failure and ridicule. It’s definitely my personal favorite on our EP.”
