Arkansas hard rock act The Alive recently released their debut album “We Are Rock And Roll” through Eternal Sound Records and now they premiere the music video for the track “This Is Rock And Roll” exclusively here at The Rockpit. Watch the video below.
The band comments: “THIS IS ROCK AND ROLL song is the core belief of what the band stands for. It’s our anthem to the world. We are a RnR band that loves the groove and fun of playing music. This is also why we chose to do this particular song as our first video and a single. The video was directed by Live Mays of of ForeverLit films. It was the bands first time shooting a video and Live made the experience very relaxed. The idea was to be very raw and show the band having fun with the song. It’s a basic concept but with an THE ALIVE twist. We are very serious about our writing when it comes to creating music but why not have a little fun when it comes to making videos. We also had a friend of ours James J Woodall (Woody) play a real greaseball guy that you see at the beginning of the video. He provides a great comedy element and sets a real good vibe for what to expect. It’s a lighthearted fun video for a song that we think will live on as a standard for THE ALIVE….THIS IS ROCK AND ROLL so throw up your hands and put those dancing shoes on cause it’s party time!”
The Alive’s motto is “We are Rock n Roll” and Rock n Roll is what you get! Bridging the gap between classic arena rock riffs while still keeping touch with a modern vibe and keeping a firm tight grip on bringing excitement to each and ever stage they play.
The Alive is a four piece band from Fort Smith, Arkansas that at the beginning knew they wanted to create fun, high energy music that you could feel deep in your bones and shake your soul making you stomp your hands and clap your feet before you even knew you were. Great Rock n Roll music can stand the test of time and cross any generation. It’s something that lives deep inside and once you’ve got it you’ve got it.
As a new band they knew from the beginning they wanted to write music that pay tribute to their influences. It didn’t take long for The Alive to go from a local band to regional touring with a fan base growing bigger and bigger with every show and becoming more in demand because of their high energy shows. From local favorites to regional rock stars and ready to take on the world.
“We Are Rock And Roll” is out now on all major digital platforms.
