GRAMMY Award-nominated rock band NEEDTOBREATHE has returned with an official music video for “Mercy’s Shore.” The video, which premiered earlier today on TasteOfCountry.com, follows “Hang On” and “Who Am I” as the third Jared Hogan-directed clip in a five-part series of visuals for the band’s brand new album Out of Body. Watch it now HERE.
“We’re happy to release the next video in our Out of Body series. The album cover features the incredible Truman Lemire. We felt like he did a wonderful job of portraying the unified struggle that our band has been going through on our record cover, and itߣs great to have him in the video for ‘Mercy’s Shore’ as well,” the band shared. “We all find the ends of ourselves at one time or another, and our realization that we can’t do it alone is what this song and video are all about.”
This weekend, NEEDTOBREATHE will take the stage at CBS This Morning Saturday to deliver the network television debut performance of songs from Out of Body. Tune in at 9:00am ET/PT on Saturday, September 5 to watch. Additionally, for the remainder of this week, fans can join the band for numerous sessions, podcasts, interviews, and more. Follow @NEEDTOBREATHE for a full schedule of upcoming appearances.
ABOUT OUT OF BODY
Out of Body was released last Friday, August 28 via Elektra Records/Centricity Music, and is available physically and digitally now HERE. Upon its release, People applauded the super catchy new music, while American Songwriter commended the band’s solid capabilities in both ballads and upbeat anthem-style songs. Southern Living praised the group as “our favorite Southern rock band,” adding “several songs feel like they were written specifically to get us through this difficult moment in time.”
NEEDTOBREATHE welcomed the album with “Celebrating Out of Body,” a fully immersive release-day concert experience directed by acclaimed filmmaker Elizabeth Olmstead (Brandi Carlile, The Highwomen). The group performed the album top-to-bottom, live for the very first time, as well as select fan-favorite tracks. “Celebrating Out of Body” is available on-demand until September 11 HERE.
On Out of Body, the platinum-certified trio — Bear Rinehart [vocals, guitar], Seth Bolt [bass, vocals], and Josh Lovelace [keys, vocals] — examine life, family, and friends through a youthful prism. The guys take stock of not only two decades as a band, but also first-time fatherhood and the future over a rich soundtrack of soulful rock with stadium-size scope and poetic intimacy. After spending a week at a beach house in Charleston to gather thoughts and ideas, the trio headed to Nashville, to record alongside producers Cason Cooley and Jeremy Lutito. As they cultivated a team atmosphere, the songs organically came to life.
ABOUT NEEDTOBREATHE
GRAMMY Award-nominated NEEDTOBREATHE have mounted a steady ascent to the top of the charts and packed arenas everywhere. Formed in 1998, the group attracted a loyal grassroots following with their full-length debut Daylight [2006] and its follow-up The Heat [2007]. Two years later, The Outsiders became their first Top 20 entry on the Billboard Top 200 before eventually going gold. During 2011, The Reckoning landed at #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart and #6 on the Top 200. In addition to bowing at #3 on the Top 200, 2014’s Rivers in the Wasteland yielded the platinum-selling Hot 100 hit “Brother” [feat. Gavin DeGraw] and “Multiplied,” which garnered their first GRAMMY nod. Meanwhile, H A R D L O V E [2016] marked their highest chart bow yet, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top Current Album Sales Chart, as the title track “Hard Love” [feat. Andra Day] scored a gold plaque.
Along the way, they headlined and sold out iconic venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Greek Theatre, and Ryman Auditorium, to name a few. The group picked up a pair of nominations at the Billboard Music Awards, and received praise from People, Rolling Stone, Forbes, and more. Now, NEEDTOBREATHE reflect the freedom of youth on their seventh full-length offering, Out of Body [Elektra Records/Centricity Music] over a rich soundtrack of soulful rock with stadium-size scope and poetic intimacy.
