CLIFFDIVER have released the music video for their new single, “IKEA Strikes Back”, taken from their upcoming album, Exercise Your Demons. The album, which was recorded by Seth Henderson and mastered by Will Yip, will be released on May 6, 2022 through SideOneDummy Records.
“The song is about resilience and about finally having some hope in the future,” says vocalist Joey Duffy. “Everyone in this band has gone through a dark time, but we’ve all come out of it treating ourselves – and others – better.”
“Getting better is hard and it’s important to not skip steps,” adds vocalist Briana Wright. “The song is like a commitment to taking the hard way around while sort of acknowledging that it might get a little rough. Ultimately, the life you want and the person you want to be is worth it.”
The music video follows CLIFFDIVER on their epic journey to the Battle of the Bands competition in Gas City, Indiana where they are overthrown by one of the 90’s biggest boy band pop rock sensations, and creators of the multi-platinum track, “MMMbop”. But if anyone’s going to overthrow CLIFFDIVER, at least it’s Hanson.
