State Of You release new music video for ‘Blood Party’

STATE OF YOU have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Blood Party, is taken from the emerging UK rock band’s upcoming self-titled debut EP, which is scheduled to be released this Friday.

“Blood Party came together very quickly and is a straight up party anthem,” says vocalist Steve Sitkowski. “It’s about wanting to get involved in life, to get hurt by it and to just accept the experience. I believe we only live once so now’s the time to listen to yourself and do whatever it is you want to do. Nick and I were working on the lyrics until 3AM on the day we recorded it. We were staying in a house we rented for the band and were both whisper-screaming lyrics to the instrumental demo playing when Max walked in. We both instantly apologised to him thinking we had woken him up but he just wanted some water. I thought we were in trouble at first, like two kids staying up late at a sleepover.”

The music video, directed and edited by Aaran McKenzie, is a suitably bloody affair. The song itself does explore a serious issue as Sitkowski explains. “It’s about living with undiagnosed ADHD for most of my life and the destructive relationships I’ve been in because of that. I was constantly using drugs to get away from myself and being in a dark place most of the time – That feeling of not belonging, being incapable of functioning in the real world and not being able to figure out why.”

State Of You is set for release on September 2nd via Silent Cult Recordings.
