DISTRICT 13 Have A New Music Video
After releasing the videos for Shadows, Wild Flowers, Soma and Is This The Way (the last two videos reached over 70k views each on YouTube), London-based heavy alternative rock trio DISTRICT 13 is proud to share a new video for the track First Impressions, taken from the debut album Soma released in July 2019: http://bit.ly/D13FirstImpressions
First Impressions reflects how people try to give a good impression of themselves when they meet someone for the first time, even projecting a fake personality of themselves in order to fit in. The video tells the story of someone who is socially awkwardly, waiting for a new person and is very nervous and worried. But the wrong personality cannot be maintained in the long run. The song itself, however, is about all situations in life that affect the first impression. Vocalist and guitarist Jon Wild commented:
“I used to see many city workers in suits, who hung out in metal bars at night and loved this music. It felt like they had to wear a mask during the day, but at night they could be themselves. I think everyone has to wear a mask sometimes. But in the end, it’s all about being who you want to be.”
First Impressions and the whole Soma album have been produced by Georgi Stanev.
