Gassed Up release new music video for ‘Section 20’

GASSED UP have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Section 20, is the brand new single from the Preston-based hardcore/metalcore band and is their first first new music since 2019’s Gnostic State EP.

The new single highlights the rise in knife and violent crime in the UK over the past years, and how easy it is as a youth to be roped into narcotics and a life of violence and crime. It is a statement on how it may seem cool, or a worthwhile way to make good money when you are surrounded by people who find it acceptable, but the consequences are usually far more severe, leading to prison, gang violence, serious injury or even death.

Vocalist Dan Crossley’s inspiration rises from personal experiences. “I was involved in this lifestyle and managed to remove myself from it, and move on to a better, more civilised way of living.”

Drummer, Shaun Hunkin, talks about the creation process of Section 20, and explains the writing was completely different to their previous EP Gnostic State, where they had tight deadlines to meet. Starting to write the song before Christmas 2019, GASSED UP decided they wanted to find something with a heavier natural sound. They also determined that something they lacked from the Gnostic State EP was the signature element of rap, which can be found in the single Mother, I Suffer. “With this track taking a heavier instrumental route, it fit with the theme of the track perfectly, providing a darker side to youth culture,” he says.
