Post-hardcore group Note to Self explore the pitfalls of living with OCD in their new music video "Akrasia". Premiering today at Revolver Magazine, the video makes use of frantic, black and white cinematography and was directed by Marcus Eden at the Painted Tiger Warehouse.
"We wrote this song to give people insight to what it's like to live with a mental disorder," says vocalist Albert Schweizer "Being diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder myself, I know how alone a person can feel. It's hard for people to understand what we go through every day. This is our way of saying you are not alone, we understand."
"Akrasia" (defined as the state of mind in which someone acts against their better judgement through weakness of will) is available on the band's new EP Agony Complete via iTunes. The record, which was produced by Matt Good who recently worked on The Word Alive's upcoming release, helped the group land a deal with Powerline Management (also representing Asking Alexandria, From First to Last, Eyes Set to Kill, and more).
About Note to Self:
Note to Self is a five piece act originating from Phoenix, Arizona. Forming in late 2014 they set out to bridge the gap between metal and alternative while creating a sound that is driving and unique. Combining heavy riffs, hard-hitting drums, shredding solos, and infectious vocals Note to Self is not to be taken lightly. With their debut EP entitled 'Agony Complete' (produced by Matt Good, who recently produced The Word Alive's upcoming release) they exploded onto the scene March of 2015 with overwhelming positive fan reaction. Since then, they have shared the stage with multiple industry powerhouses including Asking Alexandria, Fear Factory, Powerman 5000, The Word Alive, Get Scared, and many more. Having recently teamed up with Powerline Management (also representing Asking Alexandria, From First to Last, Eyes Set to Kill, and more) Note to Self's journey has just begun and they have no intentions of looking back.
