Melbourne’s The Smith Street Band have revealed the first official video for ‘Surrender’, their new song from the upcoming ‘Throw Me In The River’ album.
‘Surrender’ was shot in one take by photographer Andy Johnson and directed by Johnson, Callum Preston and Chris Cowburn. Johnson also did the artwork for ‘Throw Me In The River’.
The video was shot in North West Melbourne on the waterways but came to and end after complaints from concerned passers by.
“Surrender is a song about not wanting to force your vices or negative aspects of your personality onto someone else,” says the band’s Wil Wagner. “It’s about finding hope and meaning in little aspects of existence and day-to-day life, instead of just coasting through and being numb.”
The Smith Street Band are on tour in Europe this week with dates in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and the Czech Republic coming up.
On October 30 they will head to the USA for Pre-Fest 2 in Florida and then play east coast US dates before returning to Australia for shows in November.
