The Ohio based rockers bring in some ‘90s influence for their latest video Bad Frequencies.

Hawthorne Heights have released a video for the title track off their most recent album, Bad Frequencies. Its colourful visuals are a nod to music videos from their childhood, as hues of red cover frontman JT Woodruff.

Speaking of the song and video, Woodruff says:

One of my favourite places on earth is the California desert. It’s a dream and a nightmare at the same time, which is why I love it. I wrote the lyrics to the song Bad Frequencies while waiting on Interstate 5 in traffic for 4 hours. My dream then turned into a nightmare. You just have to remember that the nightmare eventually goes away, and you always get back to where you need to be.

Visually, much of the video’s vibe is a homage to some of our favourite music videos we grew up to in the 90’s. There is a certain amount of mystique to videos from that era that we absolutely love. Other visual inspirations include Twin Peaks and Black Mirror.

The video was made by the band themselves, and it was filmed in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Woodruff expands:

We have always loved the city and the rich musical history in the area along with seeing the beach in the winter inspired us to film this video while there. Much of the video was filmed at Outpost City, a wonderful place in Asbury Park set up for touring bands to relax, recharge, and be creative.  Many thanks to them for the hospitality.
