Dead Friends
Exclusively Premiere
Music Video for
"Torches"
via Substream Magazine
Watch HERE
Virginia Beach, VA - October 12, 2018 - 4-piece rock band Dead Friends is exclusively premiering the music video for their latest single "Torches" via Substream Magazine today! Give it a watch here: https://bit.ly/2A6r6yE.
The track follows the release of the band's singles "Down For Good" back in July, and "Paimon (What You Omen)" last month, making "Torches" the third single since the release of their EP Set You Right last year. "Torches," "Paimon (What You Omen)" and "Down For Good" were all recorded by Will Beasley (Asking Alexandria, Emarosa).
On the track, lead vocalist/guitarist Austin Radford shares, "I think subconsciously people feel like we need our lives to be defined by something comprehensible - anything from political or religious affiliation to a job or a favorite sports team. 'Torches' is about clinging too closely to those life defining elements, and the devastating realization that you're not a complete person without them."
For more information, and to keep up with Dead Friends, please follow along on Facebook and Instagram.
