Growing up in Los Angeles’ punk scene, Sunny War was hopping trains from a tender age, riding free on the rails and living homeless on the streets. Her music has always been raw, and she refuses to shy away from a brutally open honesty about the rougher parts of her life, but now that she’s gotten a modicum of comfort and routine, she finds herself looking back to what she remembers as the happiest time in her life. Far from her early days playing house shows with members of FIDLAR, and racing through punk sets with her band Anus Kings, Sunny insists she’s never lost touch with her punk roots, in fact she feels more punk than ever; “I’ve graduated to just hating everybody,” she says with a laugh.
Sunny’s new album finds her looking back on the rocky roads of her past with a surprising amount of nostalgia. Shell of a Girl, out now on Hen House Studios with vinyl released by Org Music, was written in a burst of creativity in Los Angeles, and marks a new transition period, with Sunny moving from the Venice Beach boardwalk, where she first made her name, to the streets of downtown Los Angeles.
We are excited to premiere her new video for “Love Became Pain” – streaming below! The incredibly well done video captures a vivid story, complimenting and enhancing Sunny’s amazing song. Watch this full-screen and allow yourself to be totally drawn in to the captivating visuals. Both the song and video will take you by surprise in a great way.
In her own words:
Brad (the director) and I spent a lot of time coming up with the storyline for the music video. “Love Became Pain” inspired quite a few ideas that were all very different visually and story wise. We originally planned this apocalyptic Mad Max type of thing that we were gonna shoot in East Jesus.
Somehow our schedules did not permit shooting in the desert long enough to execute our idea so we brainstormed on a different concept at an empty Irish bar and grill…. and this video’s what we came up with. Well, it’s what Brad came up with and I really really liked. It was pretty rad to see my bass player get murdered lol… just kidding, that was awful.
