Oathbound have shared an official video for their song “Set Adrift.” That track appears on their latest album “Colors In Grey.” Guitarist Taylor Harper said the following:
“Life on the road is a grind. It’s a lifestyle that isn’t suited for everyone nor can many relationships stand the test of long stretches without calls and extended time apart. Schedules are flipped, meals are communal at wherever the van happens to be whenever hunger strikes. It’s the ultimate dichotomy of life as a touring musician and what most deem normal. This video aims to show the difficulties in maintaining a grounded connection with those that we love, both on the road, and waiting for us back home.”
Vocalist CJ Brunke added:
“This video is deeply personal, born from real experiences that each of us have had during our time on the road. I think a lot of people have a very skewed view of what the reality of touring is. In large part, there’s no partying… It’s constant driving and grinding and carrying gear back and forth and making real connections with people night after night. It’s the best part of being in a band, but it’s also the hardest part of being in a band. It takes its toll mentally and financially, yet we keep driving – every single day and night toward the hope of living our dreams.”
