Drown This CityWe don't believe there are enough female hardcore singers on the loose, so when we came across the brutal Alex Reade fronting Melburnian post-hardcore band Drown This City, theMusic.com.au were keen to pick up the exclusive premiere for their brand new clip.
Boasting an impressive video shot at Fort Nepean, I'm Not Divided follows a woman taking down two male attackers with any means necessary — parkour, MMA, you name it. With a heavy-hitting track to soundtrack the awesome drone visuals and epic fighting, the band said of the clip, "It speaks to those who've been treated like they are sick or damaged in the eyes of society for being different and they answer back that any hatred or judgement is a reflection of somebody else's internal fear of those who are essentially free.
"The concept for the film clip was to elaborate on this message, with the heroine being a part of 'the resistance' and being chased down by those who wish her harm. Ultimately she beats the crap out of them and rises above any oppression or threat to her freedom. The crescendo of the lyrics: 'they hate us, they break us, we make us strong' really encapsulates the affliction of those being broken daily by forces around them, but by harnessing inner strength, they can overcome anything."
The band worked with Nick Kozakis (who co-directed Plague, Cannes Film Festival selection in 2015) and Dillon Pearce Media on the clip.
