The Smith Street Band, “Surrender” video premiere

Watch the Smith Street Band’s messy new music video for “Surrender.” The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming album, Throw Me In The River, which is available for pre-order today via SideOneDummy Records. Check it out, and let us know your thoughts.

Vocalist/guitarist Will Wagener says, “‘Surrender’ is a song about not wanting to force your vices or negative aspects of your personality onto some one else. 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. I wrote this song probably over a year ago now and it was a relief to finally hear it recorded, especially after playing it live for so long. It's got a bit more hope and bounce to it than other songs on the record and a bit more of a straight forward structure and feel. People seem to really respond to it when we played it live.”
