“Sometimes to move forward you have to burn it all down.” This became the motto for Ernie Ball’s Band Of The Year, Marina City. The sextet spent most of 2018 stripping themselves down to the core in order to craft the truest version of the band. Partnering with super producer, Dino Zisis (Lady Gaga), the band was free to explore their childhood influences of some of the world’s biggest icons, Michael Jackson, Prince, and Queen along with today’s most exciting artists, The 1975, Foster The People, and The Weeknd.

Today we’re excited to premiere the video for their single “Addicted” – streaming below! The track is smooth and dark, with a vibe that (as you might expect) is truly addicting. The video does a great job of matching the mood with distinct color schemes and a compelling story.
 
In their own words:

“Being “content” is just as much of an addiction as “wanting more.” We associate being “content” as being fulfilled however, being “content” can hinder us in finding something better.The song “Addicted” is about being addicted to feeling content with the things that are detrimental. You know it’s bad but you are always looking for the good in it. We trick ourselves in to believing things are good. If something no longer makes you happy then get rid of it. You will never grow if you always feel content”
