The Transits Release Anthemic New Single & Video “Live Today”

Powerhouse New Zealand / South African trio The Transits have dropped their new single and video, Live Today, that hits the spot with its irresistible hook and catchy melody. Live Today is a high-energy, synth laced anthem about embracing the moment with everything you’ve got. Blending hints of Pop Punk urgency with shimmering electronic textures, the track captures the rush of acting on instinct, and the clarity that comes when you finally pause to catch your breath.

The accompanying music video brings the song’s themes of urgency, risk, and living in the moment to life through the gritty, high-octane world of dirt-track racing. Set deep within the sport’s subculture, it captures both the tension and exhilaration of going all-in, echoing the track’s emotional pulse with raw, visual energy. Starring New Zealand comedian and actor Tom Sainsbury, the video takes an unexpected and heartfelt turn. Sainsbury plays an eccentric but endearing racing manager, part mentor, part hype man and part emotional coach, whose quirky intensity keeps his star racer focused. Alongside him is actor Kate Simmonds, who delivers a powerful performance as a determined racer out to defy the odds and claim her moment of glory.

“We’re massive fans of Tom Sainsbury and his ability to play any character. He’s a legend, and we were incredibly stoked he said yes to starring in our video. Shooting this was tons of fun. We wanted to write a song that feels like a deep breath and a sprint at the same time. ‘Live Today’ is about trusting the moment, even if it’s messy, even if it’s fast. Because sometimes that’s where the real living happens.”
