Islander Drops Official Music Video

ISLANDER DROPS OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR "WHAT DO YOU GOTTA LOSE?" Better Noise Music rock band Islander just dropped the official music video for their recently released single "What Do You Gotta Lose?", a hopeful anthem about finding light and moving forward. The visual was directed by Nathan Mowery of Kid Punk. WATCH HERE.   Of the visual, Islander lead singer Mikey Carvajal says: "Filming the music video for 'What Do You Gotta Lose?' was an exhausting experience - physically and emotionally. We filmed it in a small church building in Georgia. The air conditioners weren't working, so every few shots we all had to walk outside to get some air. In the video, I play a version of myself where I come back to life at my own funeral. I'm there to remind everyone to "seize the day" (yes, that's a 'Dead Poets Society' reference.) It was really important for us to approach the concept of death in a way that was relatable, while also finding a bit of joy in the celebration of life. I believe this world isn't our 'forever home.' However, while we are here we need to do the next thing that is in front of us. This song is a plea for anyone thinking about suicide to hold on. It's not always easy being alive, but it's worth it. Joy comes in the morning".   Earlier this year, Islander further set the tone for their vulnerable music path, calling for empathy and connecting with their ever-growing global fanbase with the release of their deeply personal song "The Outsider". It's a tribute to why the band gravitated towards rock music in the first place and a reminder to let anyone feeling like an outcast know that they have a place in the community of listeners that the group has formed. They're currently creating more music to release, solidifying their unique ability to offer meditative art in the craziness of the world. Buy/Stream "What Do You Gotta Lose" Here! kinda.agency
