(WATCH) Jersey Rock Video of the Week: Serious Matters “Waves”

Serious Matters will play Cianfano’s Bar in Elizabeth this Thursday 11/8! Their “Through It All” EP is out now. “Waves” is the second single off the release. The video tells a story of overcoming social anxiety and the track rocks hard! Check it out now on the Jersey Rock page!

Union Beach Alternative/Post-Hardcore group Serious Matters is back with a brand new video. “Waves” not only rocks hard but also tells a story that will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt alone and anxious in a crowded room.  According to the band the track is about “the crippling anxiety that people suffer from simply leaving the house and having to interact with other individuals.” The video’s aim is to “connect with anyone who has experienced anxiety, but can’t describe it with words.”  It was written and directed by Kris Khunachak at Kris Khunachak Mutimedia.

“Waves” is the second single off Serious Matters’ “Through It All” EP.  It’s a great collection of tracks with a real 2000’s vibe that draws influence from the likes of Coheed And Cambria, Thursday and Thrice.  It’s the band’s first release with Manic Kat Records. You can score it now on iTunes!

Don't miss Serious Matters this Thursday 11/8 at Cianfano’s Bar in Elizabeth. Learn more on the band’s facebook events page.
