DEBUTS “AMNESIA” VIDEO ON VEVO
BAND PAYS HOMAGE TO PAST ERAS OF ROCK’N’ROLL IN CHEEKY NEW VIDEO
Akron, Ohio rockers Red Sun Rising premiered the video for their new single “Amnesia” on Vevo today.  Directed by Ryan Valdez and shot in Los Angeles, the storyline showcases the band in multiple incarnations, depicting music of different eras and styles – hair metal, ’60s pop, ’90s boy bands and country heartthrobs, as seen on TV. Emulating a late-night channel surfing experience, band members star as fictitious characters Simon Fargunkel, Burt Hansby, Donald Doozeman and Big Jimmy in their own infomercial, complete with call-in number. “Amnesia” is the third single from Red Sun Rising’s debut full-length album Polyester Zeal (Razor & Tie).
“Amnesia” marks a departure from the band’s previous two videos for “Emotionless” and “The Otherside.” Lead singer Mike Protich explains: “We take our art seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We just wanted the video shoot to be fun and the end product to be different. The result was a reflection of our personalities 99% of the time. This band has always taken inspiration from everywhere, and showcasing some of those different musical eras and styles in the video was a fun way to represent that. The ‘infomercial’ was a way to poke fun at the fact that the music industry isn’t what it used to be.”
Earlier in 2016, Red Sun Rising made headlines and earned their own small piece of rock radio history with two straight #1 hit singles off of a debut album on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Chart.  This marked the first time in over a decade that a band has achieved back-to-back #1s  with its first two singles at rock, “The Otherside” and “Emotionless.”
Red Sun Rising is currently on an extensive U.S. tour in support of Polyester Zeal, and plan to make their European debut in November in support of Skillet. Please see below for a full list of Red Sun Rising’s tour dates. Visit their site to purchase tickets: http://redsunrisingmusic.com/
