Cover Your Tracks unveils live video for ‘Cages’

For the last week, Cover Your Tracks has been teasing the release of their brand new music video for lead single, “Cages.” On Monday (Oct. 24), the Atlanta-based band unleashed the music video which shows the viewers what it’s like to be at one of the group’s shows. The live music video was recorded during the group’s stint on Ice Nine Kills’ recently wrapped ‘Hell in the Hallways’ fall tour.

While the song is a very catchy one, it turns out that there is a lot more to it, lyric-wise. Frontman Paul Rose revealed that the song is about the negative impact of technology on human relationships. “We could be really damaging the way we interact and not even know it,” begins Rose. “I understand how helpful it is and I’m a hundred percent for technological progress—but just like everything, there must be a balance: no good without bad, no good without evil.” Guess the technology we’ve all grown to know and “love” are in fact those cages.

Watch the video for “Cages” below.

“Cages” is featured on Cover Your Track’s debut album, Fever Dream. Fever Dream was released back in September. Like with any band who’s released a brand new record, Cover Your Track is set to hit the road once again, except this time with Failure/Anthem, Through Fire, and Letters from the Fire. The new trek kicks off tonight at the Studio @ Webster Hall and will wrap up on Nov. 9 at Davey’s Uptown in Kansas City. The complete list of tour dates can be seen below.

Set Your Goals Vocalist Reveals Side Project

No current projects are on the horizon for Set Your Goals and vocalist Matt Wilson will be taking advantage of the quiet time. The singer has announced that he created a new band named Chains to put out music that did not quite fit the sound of Set Your Goals.

“I am equal parts darkness and light and I have always had ideas that wouldn’t quite work for Set Your Goals; either the lyrics were too dark or parts were too aggressive,” admitted Wilson in a statement posted on YouTube.

“Chains is an outlet for that. Once Set Your Goals slowed down, I was able to put my ideas into motion. I grew up listening to extreme music and this projects is more in line with those tastes.”

As if the announcement wasn’t enough, Wilson has also released the group’s lead single, “Cages.”

Listen to it below.

Chains’ debut record, The Sorrow, The Sadness will reportedly be released in early 2015 through Wilson’s own record label, Calaveras Records.
