3 Doors Down have premiered the official video for their latest single “In The Dark.” The video, which can be viewed below, stars none other than RJ Mitte [Emmy Award®-winning Breaking Bad, Switched At Birth] and was directed by the duo of Magnus Jonsson and Martin Landgreve of Gaucho Film [Azealia Banks].
“In The Dark” is the first single from the GRAMMY Award®-nominated multiplatinum Mississippi rock band’s sixth full-length offering, Us And The Night [Republic Records], out in stores and digitally March 11. Pre-order it HERE.
On working with the band on the video and the video’s star RJ Mitte, directors Martin Landgreve & Magnus Jonsson commented: “To make music videos were The Gaucho boys’ childhood dream, so to make a video for childhood idols 3 Doors Down is incredible. When Republic Records first reached out to us with this project, we called RJ Mitte right away! Explained the project, our idea for the song and he was ecstatic! Turns out RJ is a big 3 Doors Down fan himself, and told us a few memorable stories from his life that were defined by 3 Doors Down. RJ is a born actor, and probably the best we’ve worked with. He brings a lot to the table and he’s just as cool and rock ‘n’ roll as 3 Doors Down themselves-couldn’t have been a better choice for the role! Overall a kick ass song, with a fun and twisted video that leaves you wondering. Making this video was a great experience and everyone in and around the team was amazing!”
Echoing the directors’ love of the band, the video’s star RJ Mitte noted: “I had a great time filming this video, and it was great day of shooting with people I consider my friends. Doing music videos are like mini movie sets and you have to connect with the music as well as the director and the team behind the scenes in order to tell the story the way the band envisioned.
I think we have captured it with this video. I’ve always been a fan of the band so this was a great project to work on. I hope everyone enjoys the video, I can’t wait to see it all play out!”
“We came out of the gate with a song that’s really different for us,” says singer Brad Arnold. “We needed to match that with the video, and Magnus, Martin, and RJ brought that vision to life better than we ever could’ve imagined.”
Get ready for a big year from 3 Doors Down including upcoming performances at Welcome to Rockville, Fort Rock Festival and Carolina Rebellion Festival as well a soon to be announced headlining tour later this year.
