Sucker Punch Go For Gold On “Incognito Mode” Video

Sucker Punch are capping off an explosive fall with the cheeky video for Incognito Mode that is the latest single off the New Jersey band’s October EP, Better Pleasures, that hits the sweet spot between heavy and catchy that’s critical to the band’s pop punk-emo sound. Introspective and energetic with an anthemic chorus, Incognito Mode drives forward the EP’s themes of coping and self-improvement. Crisp production creates a rich, sonic environment, where distorted power chords and moody guitar leads come together to blend tension and aggression.

Sucker Punch bravely faces furious foes as a dodgeball team in the track’s music video. Reminiscent of pop punk classics like I’m Made of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of, the video shows the band pulling through a grueling tournament, in matching outfits, of course. Guitarist Billy Butka gave insight into the music and film they sought to pay homage to: “We really miss the days of goofy and fun music videos. A Day to Remember were kings of that and it’s something we really wanted to take inspiration from. So why not combo that with a favorite movie of the band: ‘Dodgeball.’”

Conquering challenges in both the music video realm and the real world, the band recently rescheduled the Better Pleasures release show after its original venue, Asbury Park’s House of Independents, was forced to close due to flood damage. Salty’s Beach Bar in Lake Como, New Jersey will now host the Double EP Releasemania show co-headlined by Sucker Punch and Halogens on Saturday, December 23rd.
