A CROWD of zombies swarmed the streets to help a popular Kidderminster musician film his new music video.

Scenes that would not have looked out of place in television show the Walking Dead unfolded in Stourbridge town centre on Sunday (October 15), as acclaimed Kidderminster singer/songwriter Ian Passey, who works under the moniker of the Humdrum Express, filmed his new music video.

Figures resembling the undead were also seen clawing at the Shuttle offices, in St John’s Road.

The spectacle for all for Ian’s new music video for his latest single ‘E-petition’ – a tongue-in-cheek take on withering social norms - and was filmed by Kidderminster-born musician and music video director Nick J Townsend, of Weak13.

Ian said: “The video shoot went really well. I have been teaming up with Nick pretty regularly. He’s someone I really enjoy working with to help expand on some of my ideas.

“I also love to get as many people involved as possible with the videos and I am always amazed by how many love being a part of team. We had more than 60 zombies and managed to cause a bit of a stir around Stourbridge.

"The finished video will be made public - via Facebook and YouTube - on Halloween and the song itself will be released on November 10.

"I would like to thank everyone who took part for making such a fantastic effort and the onlookers who took it all with the sense of fun intended."

Nick added: “The week before filming for the Humdrum Express I had to direct a Viking army raiding a village, so filming an army of the dead was surprisingly straight forward.

“Ian Passey is from my hometown and I have always tried to support good talent from the area. The Humdrum Express is really going places.”

More than 60 actors and music fans, aged from just three months to 72, took part in the music video shoot for ‘E-petition’, which will be released as a single on Halloween (October 31).

Among those taking part in the video shoot was Rita Dabrowicz, from Worcester, who said: “It was a truly fun and unexpected Halloween event.”
