Buffalo hard rock band Hearts and Hand Grenades unveil new single "Better Off Alone"
Buffalo hard rock band Hearts and Hand Grenades have released their new single "Better Off Alone" today.
The song comes with an accompanying music video directed by Nick Sonricker. Guitarist Mike Bress said this about working on the visual:
“In thinking about all our music videos so far, this was actually the most fun to create. Each shot was thought up on the spot, and brought to life by the people at the party just being themselves and having a great time. For example, there is a guy in the video that just laid down after having too much to drink, and it looked like he was passed out drunk. We thought, that’s funny so we decided to have a bunch of shots where he was passed out everywhere.
There is also a scene reminiscent of the movie 300 where he yells ‘This is Sparta’ and kicks a guy into the pit. Our female friend got to do the same when she finally had enough of her boyfriend ignoring her. Overall, Nick Sonricker is fantastic to work with. He is easy-going and comes prepared not only with all his camera equipment, but the ability to recognize and execute ideas that made our video pop!”
Vocalist/bassist Stephanie Wlosinski said this about the song:
"Better Off Alone is a song about being overlooked in a relationship, finally getting fed up, and doing something about it, and we chose this song as a single to show that the band is extremely diverse when it comes to our music. We can go from a punk feel to hard rock, to metal, and back again!”
“Better Off Alone” comes from Hearts and Hand Grenades’ forthcoming studio album Where I Begin, which will be released on January 26 via Eclipse Records. Pre-orders for the record can be made here.
