Ferris & Sylvester release 'Knock You Down' live video

Ferris & Sylvester have released a live video for their new single ‘Knock You Down’, the latest song to be taken from their forthcoming EP I Should Be On A Train out October 2^nd via LAB Records.

The live video is the second in a series filmed during lockdown at Streatham Space Project in London, and follows the release of the ‘I Should Be On A Train’ live video last month. The band are due to play a headline show at the venue as part of the Streatham Festival, which is already sold out, and a rescheduled date is to be announced soon.

The video series captures the intimacy and intoxicating energy of a Ferris & Sylvester live show, even in an empty venue. The ‘Knock You Down’ live video finds the band stripping back the wistful psychedelic touches of the Mellotron played on the record and injecting slick guitar lines from Archie Sylvester in its place.

‘Knock You Down’ was released last month to great praise with the likes of Far Out Magazine describing it as, “gorgeous… an absolute sonic delight”, while Songwriting Magazine said, “this is another alt-folk classic from Ferris & Sylvester.”

‘Knock You Down’ follows the release of the EP’s lead single and title track ‘I Should Be On A Train’. The explosive blues ballad was quick to draw great praise, including strong support from Bob Harris on his Radio 2 show, while it led BBC Introducing South West to feature the band as their ‘Artist Of The Week’. Ferris & Sylvester were featured as ‘Legends Of The Future’ by Sunday People and the song has continued to receive critical praise from the likes of American Songwriter, Maverick Magazine and many more.

The forthcoming I Should Be On A Train EP also features the previously released single ‘Everyone Is Home’, described by Clash Magazine as “the duo’s very own isolation anthem”, as well the brand new song ‘Good Man’ with its groove-laden riffs and Ravi Shankar influences. The EP closes with a cover of The Beatles’ ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’, inspired by their lockdown livestreams where they shared a new cover every week with their fans and also raised money to help local venues stay in business via the Music Venue Trust, of which they are patrons.

The I Should Be On A Train EP finds Ferris & Sylvester thriving in the world’s state of transition, taking the opportunity to explore new territories, spurred on by the success of the past and looking forward to the future.

Ferris & Sylvester have made a distinct mark on the live scene both in the UK and across the Atlantic. This is set to continue in 2021 as they have announced their largest headline shows for next year. The band will tour the UK throughout February and March, with a London headline show at Lafayette on March 1^st. The band will then head off for a six date tour across the US and Canada.
