A quote from founding member and front man, Chris Envy on “Bitter Pill”:
“It’s been six years since our last release. This is the first video we have released since 1999, having Mickey (Molinari) back on drums (the drummer on the 2006 Waiting For You album) has been so great. Everyone just clicked. This song was written as a band from start to finish and it felt like Showoff was moving forward in a direction it was always meant to get to. It’s been such an amazing experience.”
