Hour 24 Releases Music Video "Emergence"



Michigan alternative rock band Hour 24 release their new music video for their single "Emergence." The single is the title track off of the band's new EP, produced by Dan Korneff (Paramore, Pierce the Veil, Breaking Benjamin), that comes out on April 19th.

Vocalist Rachel Mayer states "I truly want to make a difference in the world with our music and focus on the positive aspects in life. Too many people get caught up in all the negative stuff that's going on in our world. Each one of these songs on Emergence is about learning lessons in life and reflecting on the positive aspects of those lessons, especially if they come out of negative situations. The lyrics were written to help open people's eyes up and show that we all go through hard times. We can overcome them whether it's dealing with fear, letting go of people or stressful situations, or even the challenges faced when striving for your dream.



The band will be headlining to support the release of the new EP the rest of the year. The following dates have been announced, with more to come:

April 15th Toledo, OH Frankies April 16th Akron, OH The Bar Akron April 17th Pittsburg, PA Black Forge Coffee House April 18th Vienna, VA Jammin' Java April 20th Dover, DE Tom's Bullpen April 21st Beckley, WV Muncheez Bar & Grille April 23rd Pontiac, MI Pike Room April 24th Lansing, MI Mac's Bar April 26th Ann Arbor, MI Club Above
