Grungy rockers Marisa And The Moths have released the video for new single, “SAD”, from their highly-anticipated second album, What Doesn’t Kill You, due for release 3rd May.

Drawing inspiration from bands like Alter Bridge and Evanescence, Marisa And The Moths have created a sound that is both familiar and innovative. With elements of pop-infused alt-rock bands like Paramore and Flyleaf, ‘SAD‘ is an exploration of the unspoken struggles beneath a seemingly content exterior.

On the new video, the band comments, “The music video for “SAD” portrays the complexities of battling depression while maintaining a facade of happiness. Marisa’s solo performance subtly conveys the emotions of isolation, loneliness, and vulnerability, against the neon-like backdrop reminiscent of a teenage girl’s birthday party. The video perfectly complements the upbeat pop-rock sound of the music. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of personal struggles due to societal expectations, including self-medicating and social masking, inviting viewers to reflect on the universal challenges of fitting in while staying true to oneself.”

SAD” is another taste of what fans can expect from Marisa And The Moths‘ forthcoming second album. The album promises a collection of dynamic and diverse tracks that showcase the band’s growth and musical evolution.
