Denver rock band EverIgnite might be relatively new to the scene (having only launched last August) but they’re already making waves with their debut album, SHIFT and are celebrating the release of their newest music video for “Reckless” today. The song and video embody hints of a summer vibe that gladly serve as a quick relief from the snowy week here in Colorado as well as a sing-along chorus that reminds us to not take life too seriously and get a little crazy every once in while. The video, which was shot by Justin Urban, can be seen now below.
The four-piece set up camp at an event space located in the heart of downtown Denver. Equipped with a pool table, foosball, and an old school pinball machine, the video showcases the energetic and uplifting vibe the band have become known for in the live circuit. In between the performance shots finds the guys exploring the city and soaking up the sun on a beautiful weekday afternoon.
If you’re a native, you’ll appreciate several shots sprinkled in throughout including the Denver Performing Arts District, the big blue bear outside The Denver Convention Center, and several others. None of EverIgnite’s members are actually from Colorado, but have all fallen in love with the Mile High City and used this video as an ode to their new home.
Reckless serves as the second single off of EverIgnite’s debut album SHIFT, released in September of 2018. The group is very thankful for the warm reception they’ve had thus far and are excited to continue to grow their fanbase in Colorado before venturing out across the US later this year.
The world needs big rock bands. EverIgnite is preparing to fill those shoes. With big guitars, big choruses, and big hooks – the Denver quartet have set their sights on creating the kind of live energy and uplifting atmosphere often found at arena size concerts. Though still young to the world in their late twenties, the group has over 35 years of experience writing, recording, and touring the country.
Led by singer/guitarist Chad Anthony, the band prides themselves in writing engaging material and delivering the goods in the live setting. Anthony, a long time drummer, has found his home after stepping out from behind the skins and fulfilling his ultimate calling as a front-man. After leaving his last band, the multi-instrumentalist spent the next year writing and recording an entire album by himself, which would become EverIgnite’s debut album ‘SHIFT’, released on September 28th, 2018.
Anthony’s love of writing anthemic rock songs is complimented by lead guitarist Kris Litman’s vast array of technical skills, coming from a guitar-centric metal background. On the low end is Josh Rosa, a Nashville native who stayed loyal to his punk roots despite growing up in the heart of country music. Rounding out the lineup is Jackson Ruggiero on drums. Ruggiero, whose father is also a long time drummer, grew up with drumsticks in hand and has developed his own voice on the kit that draws from a wide spectrum of influences.
The young rock outfit believe strongly in writing meaningful and authentic music that connects with people on a visceral level and cultivates a sense of togetherness in an often divisive world. At its essence, EverIgnite is more than just a band, it’s a way of life. It’s acknowledging the ups and downs of this world all while living each day to the fullest.
Despite only having been a band since early 2018, the boys of EverIgnite have already released a full length album, filmed multiple videos, and gained significant notoriety in the scene with strong live performances across the Midwest. With experience in their corner, they are poised to move swiftly and make a name for themselves.
In a genre that is widely dominated by industry veterans, it’s time for some fresh blood to step up and carry the torch to ensure that future generations will never miss out on the magic of a big rock show.
