High Rise release new music video for ‘Endeavours’

HIGH RISE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Endeavours, is taken from the EP of the same name which is scheduled to be released this Friday!

Speaking of the meaning behind the track, vocalist Jovic Staddon says, “when I  was 18, I would stay out drinking till late at night and not really care about much. When I got paid I would spend all I had really quickly and took zero responsibility for anything. My attitude and situation got even worse once I started to borrow money using pay-day loan services just so that I could go out and “have fun”. I thought I knew what was best… I really didn’t. After a while, I ran out of money and did the worst thing possible… I stole money from my parents.

I didn’t call it an addiction at first but I guess it was as I just wanted to drink every day. None of it made me feel any better about myself but at the time, being inebriated or drunk, I felt like nothing could touch me. I was great at hiding my emotions and always just put on a brave face. All I ever really wanted was to just be happy but I never was going to be if I carried on like that. My friends told me to come clean and tell my family. I struck up the courage and told my parents that I needed to talk to them. When we all sat down my Mum started to cry – they already knew what I had done. After a long and honest conversation with them both, I realised how much my parents meant to me. They are my whole world and I will never let them down again. It has taken them a long time for them to forgive me – who could blame them? Regardless of what you may have done in the past, if you’re given a second chance, prove yourself worthy of it.”

Continuing to talk about the EP, Staddon continues, “this EP is a journey and a reflection on our cultural surroundings. Each song reflects the struggles we face in day to day life, whether that be losing someone close to you or seeing alcohol or substance abuse as a means to escape reality. The name Endeavours came from the thought that no one’s journey is ever quite over and through our struggles to succeed, we forget to appreciate the more important things around us.”

Endeavours is set for release on March 29th via self-release.
