Pinkshift have shared their new single 'Vacant' with a late-night dance party video
Maryland trio Pinkshift release energetic punk single 'Vacant' with playful video featuring late-night dance party ahead of upcoming album 'Earthkeeper'.
Pinkshift have shared new single 'Vacant', taken from their upcoming album 'Earthkeeper', set for release via Hopeless Records.
'Vacant' is cheeky, urgent, and energetic, and we wanted to reflect that visually with a lighthearted, un-serious music video," the band explain. "Inspired by Beyonce's '7/11' video, it showcases the three of us and our two touring members, Michael and Kirby, just hanging out. A simple concept, but it captures our genuine selves connecting and reconnecting with the song and each other as we have a late-night dance party.
The band further elaborate on the track's musical elements, saying, "For 'Vacant,' we drew upon our ever-present punk influences to create a sound that feels familiar while also introducing concepts new to us. Though we're no strangers to breakdowns, the one in this song was inspired by grunge jam sections rather than hardcore/metalcore, and ended up becoming of the grooviest parts we've ever written.
