NEWS: Ten56 offer up “IO” music video!

Following the release of their critically acclaimed new album “IO” and a hugely successful headline run across the UK and Europe, Parisian bruisers ten56. have shared an incredibly moving new music video for the album’s title track. It’s the final song of the record, bookending their most devastating release yet by shining a bright light on the raw vulnerability at its core.

Speaking on the single and video, vocalist Aaron Matts shares:

“This track came at a pivotal time in my life, both literally and figuratively. Looking back at the lyrical content that I’ve put out, I felt that I needed to directly address the why’s and how’s as to why I tend to fall into the same lyrical stupor from track to track. At least that’s how I felt about it.”

“This song and its music video also came at a turning point in my life. Between two tours I was admitted to an addiction treatment centre in order to get over a long standing opioid and Benzodiazepine addiction. We were able to film the images during my stay at the rehabilitation clinic, and while on paper this sounds cool; it was a very vulnerable and uncomfortable period for me.”

“I hope this track and it’s music video can eventually help anyone else experiencing something similar in their lives. I’m not perfect, but I’m doing my best and I have my boys by my side. Love yourselves.”

“The reason why I started ten56. was to talk about these things that I have on my mind, and unburden myself of them. For a long time in my career I wasn’t able to sing about the way I was actually feeling. I don’t know how to write positive lyrics. I have to be going through something to really be inspired. I’ve always liked extremely heavy music, and this was my way of getting these thoughts off my mind.”
