Sutton pop punks make first music video in Wallington

A band of "pop punks" have made a music video for a song set in Wallington.

The band, 100% Cotton filmed the video for Winter in Wallington, at locations all over the borough.

Singer and guitarist, Danny Colverson, 31, says: "We had been doing 15-hour days working on the album for a few weeks in a row and cabin fever had definitely started to set in.

"That song came out of nowhere and totally saved our sanity."

The entire video which incorporates some of Wallington’s "finest landmarks" was recorded over two days by Mr Colverson’s brother in December.

Mr Colverson says: "We don’t just sing about cravats, garden centres and seasonal issues.

"We also have girls, apathy and sailing pretty much covered too.

"The video has helped us out a lot so far. Our goals for the rest of the year include getting our waxworks into Madam Tussauds, a Triple Platinum album and making enough money to buy adjacent houses across the road from Michael Buble and Francis Rossi."

However, for now, their more modest plans include a date at Croydons Scream Lounge on April 6.

Their debut album, Super Go is due for release in early April.
