DEVIL VIDEO AND UK TOUR

WHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU

LP OUT NOW

MARISA AND THE MOTHS have released the video for their track Devil, taken from their second album What Doesn’t Kill You. The song portrays a story about falling in love again when you had previously convinced yourself that you wouldn’t in order to protect yourself from getting hurt. It is about being your own worst enemy and giving in to the temptation of a new love, even when you still don’t fully trust your own judgement after experiencing a life-altering abusive relationship.

You can watch the video to Devil here:

Speaking about the song, Marisa says: “This track is featured at the end of our second album and is a journey which portrays the process of grief after the breakdown of an abusive relationship that I finally escaped from. At the time, I was finally happy – single and enjoying exploring my sexuality and freedom – but then I met someone. I was determined to make sure I wouldn’t get emotionally attached but, deep down, I think I knew from the start that would happen and that scared me after what I went through. If I’m honest, I’ve always been a hopeless romantic so, as much as I told myself it was ‘just sex’, in the end I had to admit to myself the truth of what was happening and bring my protective walls down. “The song is a reminder to stay open to new love and opportunities because, as scary as it might be to put yourself out there and trust people again, if we don’t and we let our fear take over, then we are the only ones to blame for standing in the way of our own happiness, not the people who hurt us in the past and who aren’t here anymore to see it.”

MARISA AND THE MOTHS have been turning heads with their unique alternative rock sound and powerhouse female vocals for several years now. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2019 and was followed last year by What Doesn’t Kill You, described by fans as akin to a deep therapy session that you want to sing along with at the top of your lungs.

Both albums received ecstatic reviews from the likes of Metal Hammer, Kerrang! and Classic Rock and national radio plays from BBC Introducing Rock on Radio 1, the BBC Radio 2 Rock Show, Planet Rock, Total Rock, Kerrang! Fresh Blood and Primordial Radio. The band also recently recorded a live session of songs from both albums at the iconic Abbey Road Studios which will be released early this year.

Marisa’s vocals examine subjects such as mental health, toxic relationships, trauma and sexuality, resonating deeply with her fellow misfits and anyone that has ever had to deal with similar hardships.

Marisa also features on the new Sophie Lloyd album Imposter Syndrome, which was nominated for Best Breakthrough album at the Heavy Music Awards 2024. Their collaboration single Won’t You Come was released last year alongside other singles featuring Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Chris Robertson (Black Stone Cherry), Matt Heafy (Trivium) and Michael Starr (Steel Panther).

With several previous headline tours under their belt, support slots with artists such as the Kris Barras Band, Von Hertzen Brothers, Those Damn Crows, As December Falls and Elvana, and appearances at Planet Rockstock and 2000 Trees festivals, MARISA AND THE MOTHS continue to redefine the rock genre with their electrifying and unforgettable performances.
