The highly anticipated video follows front man Josh Raven and his love interest on the run from the law, eventually escaping before everything goes up in flames. It also showcases the band delivering a stellar live performance with the Welsh countryside as a fitting backdrop.

The song was co-written with Ashton Irwin from 5 Seconds of Summer and, according to Josh, “Is a reflection of our journey as band. Being placed out of Australia and into LA for the first time as a band, we got thrown into this whole new world of exciting experiences and pressures. As frightening as it was, and no matter what our feelings of home, it became this tunnel vision of realising that we had this chance to make our dreams a reality. Our music video reflecting that exact feeling of freedom was so important for us”.

SUMMER IS A CURSE follows the massive debuts of the quartet’s previous releases SAINTS OF THE SINNERS and MIDLAND LINE, which collectively have over 1.6 million streams to date. All of the band’s songs were produced by the legendary John Feldmann [renowned for his work with Blink-182, All Time Low, Panic at The Disco and Good Charlotte] and have racked up support from VEVO, BBC Radio One, Upset, Rock Sound, TMRW, MTV, The Box.
