MEMPHIS MAY FIRE SHARE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “SOMEBODY” — WATCH
MEMPHIS MAY FIRE —Matty Mullins (vocals), Kellen McGregor (guitar), Cory Elder (bass), and Jake Garland (drums) — have spent the past several months thrilling their dedicated legion by dropping four new tracks, all released via longtime label Rise Records.
Today, the band is releasing the official video for the fourth (and latest) single “Somebody.”
Watch it here.
The song boasts crunchy riffing, crackling electronics, and the kind of chorus that will find you singing along and finger pointing. Meanwhile, the video is driven by intense performance footage and intimate closeups of the band, bathed in fire and ice tones.
“The response to our latest single ‘Somebody’ has been unreal, so we decided to shoot a music video for it to tell the story even further,” says Mullins. “We teamed up with director Dustin Haney and we couldn’t be more stoked on how it turned out.”
Earlier this year, Memphis May Fire dropped a one-two punch with a pair of explosive songs — “Blood & Water” and “Death Inside.” The full-on riff fest “Bleed Me Dry” followed suit. “Blood & Water” is one of the fastest growing hits of the band’s career. It was accompanied by a powerful video and cruised onto the SiriusXM Octane airwaves. Revolver called it a “return to form” and noted that the song boasted an “absurdly melodic lead lick that cuts through the chugging breakdowns like a hot knife on butter.” Meanwhile, “Death Inside” reminded fans of the band’s sonic heft and was evidence of why Memphis May Fire have remained one of the scene’s standouts. The latest song, “Somebody,” features all the sonic hallmarks fans know and love about MMF.
All told, the four new tracks have accumulated 23 million combined streams across platforms. Each song release has also been accompanied by a charity-driven t-shirt, as the band is passionate about giving back and supporting its local community.
