You've no doubt already seen the video for Waterparks' new single Blonde. So you know how much fun it is. Here, Kerrang! exclusively brings you behind the scenes of the shoot, courtesy of the band's own personal photographer, Jawn Rocha.

And better still, frontman Awsten Knight was kind enough to take some time out from stuffing himself with Thanksgiving dinner to provide us with captions in his own characteristic style. We just had to de-capitalise everything he sent us so it didn't seem like he was really angry about it. Well, we hope he wasn't angry about it. To be fair, we'd be furious if someone pulled us away from a big feast on a day off. Ooops... Soz, Awsten!

Anyway, if you've yet to dig into the Blonde video, here it is again in all its Technicolor glory.

Glorious, indeed.

Waterparks will release their new album Entertainment on January 26 through Easy Life Records. And don't forget the trio will return to the UK in March next year. Those dates are as follows:

March

1: Birmingham O2 Institute
2: Dublin Academy
3: Leeds Stylus
4: London KOKO 
6: Glasgow O2 ABC
7: Manchester O2 Ritz
8: Cardiff Y-Plas
9: Southampton Engine Rooms
10: Brighton Concorde 2


In the meantime, give the band's last album, Double Dare, a listen below and that should whet the appetite nicely.
