New Noise Magazine - Video Premiere - All My Life
Washington D.C.’s Never Elected are bringing back some of the best elements of the ’90s, including the long hair. Fusing the socio-political consciousness of Rage Against the Machine, Living Colour’s furious bass-riffs, and the Foo Fighters’ driving guitars, the band is an in-your-face grunge-revival explosion. They’re gearing up for the re-release of their 2023 album Turbulent on April 19 after having freed themselves from label control to once again embark on their musical journey as independents.

" The video touches on yet another serious topic, this time dealing with the struggles of mental health, a topic that is taboo to discuss openly in many cultures. Vocalist Sujit Kumar adds, “Sometimes you don't know what's worse. The reality you escape when you fall asleep, or the nightmares that you forcefully wake up from.” "https://www.radioandmusic.com/entertainment/editorial/news/211101-never-elected-release-new-single-where-you

" “Where You Belong” takes a look into the intertwined lives of three individuals, all dealing with different forms of depression, anger, and passive suicidal ideations. A therapist and a failed parent who abuses his own prescription drugs. A rocker and cross-dresser who is seeing a therapist for his depression, nightmares, and suicidal ideation. An angry corporate lawyer whose father killed his guitar-playing dreams, and often has intrusive thoughts on wanting to kill his parents. "

" “Catchy riffs are matched with a catchy vocal melody reaching out to convey a message. The pauses with absolute silence in between the choruses are deliberate to kind of show how we as a society in general, WAKE UP loudly to a certain problem, think about it, and once it’s all silent, we go back to sleep again, until WOKEN UP to another issue only to repeat the same all over again.”

" The fans are going to absolutely love it! You’ve got a guaranteed crowd pleaser with ‘Wake Up‘. Playing it at shows is a sure fire way to get fans fired up. I know I certainly would be! I can’t wait to hear what else they have in store! "
