Philadelphia pop-punk band An Honest Year are thrilled to release their music video for the infectious single “Chin Up Kid,” Chin Up Kid is the latest single off the band’s third EP, Horizons. The catchy pop/rock driven song was inspired by the all-familiar adversity from peers that we face growing up. An Honest Year wanted to create a track that encourages fans to strive for what they love and what makes them happy, delivering the message through the music video to keep your chin up. Here is what FUSE had to say about the release:
“Is pop-punk as fierce as it’s always been, or fiercer than it’s ever been? Either way, we’re glad An Honest Year’s here for the party. The Philadelphia band’s new single “Chin Up, Kid” surfs the genre’s classic terrain of growing up and staying strong through all the bullsh–” – Fuse.TV
