We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of Why Everyone Left’s music video for their song “Bouch” (watch it below). The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album This Is Not A Test, which is scheduled to be released on November 2nd. You can pre-order the album here.
Why Everyone Left vocalist Enzo commented:
This is the first song I wrote for the new record, I really wanted to make something different and new for us, so this song has been the perfect starting point for the whole EP.
I wanted to give a little less space to the riffs (except for the huge bouncing one at the beginning) and a little more space to the vocals and other elements, like the poppy beat in the second verse.
I directed the video myself, with Luca Zecchi making it perfect with those drawn elements. I wanted the visuals to match perfectly with the song, so not the usual playback stuff… it kinda looks more like a hip hop video!
Upcoming Show:
November 10 – Parma, Italy at Mu (Pop Punk Mosh Party / Release Show)
About the band:
Completed by Lucaon Drums,Luca Bion Bassand Thomas on Guitar, the quartet formed Why Everyone Leftin 2013, as Enzo says, “from the ashes of other bands, everyone in our local scene was quitting music at the time, except for us.” Taking their name from a Real Friends track, despite cementing themselves as an upbeat pop-punk act, they have had serious intentions from the beginning, saying, “I think most of the small bands in our scene don’t take this as a real job. That changes everything. We put all the time we have in this, everyday, if you’ll treat it as a hobby it won’t be more than a hobby.” This approach has seen the Italian crew already sharing stages with the likes of Four Year Strong, Waterparks, As It Is and Seaway; touring the UK and mainland Europe;and releasing two prior EPs.
For This Is Not A Test, the band was very hands-on, with Enzo producing and recording all bar the drums himself and Seb Barlow (Neck Deep, WSTR, As It Is) at Celestial Productions handling mixing duties. The resultant 5-tracker sees the band declaring: “I think we finally found our way with this EP. The previous ones were too heterogeneous, this time there’s a connection from start to finish.”Taking influence from the likes of State Champs, Four Year Strong and A Day To Remember, This Is Not A Test sounds like long summers spent drinking with your friends, delivering big, bouncy riffs and infectious vocal hooks. The band reveals their hopes for listeners of the release: “We want them to have a good time with the fun songs like Whiskey & Coke, and wish they’ll feel better and less lonely during their hard times,with the sadder songs like Dead Inside.”
