Psych Kissed NYC Alt Rockers Red Vox Share Their Charming, Out of This World Single/Video "Forgetter"

Red Vox is an alt rock group hailing from NYC, and includes Vinny of Twitch/YouTube fame as Vinesauce. They have just unveiled the video for their driving alt rock tune “Forgetter”, which was shot on location in Staten Island, and stars fan fav "Gnorts".

Speaking about their new song and visual, Red Vox say, "Forgetter is a kind of tongue in cheek song that almost sounds like an advertisement for something, a vibe we leaned into after discovering it. I kinda stumbled upon the chorus riff and mindlessly started singing to it between songs during a studio jam. Once the rest of the song started taking shape, we changed the obvious sounding refrain into something a little more vague and interesting, forgetter. Lyrically it's got a couple different meanings, but musically it's definitely rooted in the rock from the 90s with a splash of some of the more recent psych rock. I think there's always stuff we'd rather forget, but what is a "Forgetter" exactly?... I don't remember."

They add, “Famous actor, Gnorts, loved the first half of the double album and reached out to us saying he'd love to star in a future music video if we made one. When we wrote Forgetter, we felt like it'd be a perfect fit. Gnorts is the strong, silent type. Ever stoic, he shows up on time, does his job and returns to his trailer. We're not sure what he does in there, but a steady stream of mysterious vapor always seems to escape from the windows. While Gnorts doesn't describe himself as a method actor, he certainly didn't remember a whole lot after these trailer sessions; making him perfect for the role. For the video, we told him to explore our native Staten Island at his own discretion and followed him around with a camera as he did so. Barring a surprise visit from what we can only assume was a friend of his, the shoot went well and we're happy with the results. Gnorts remains missing to this day.”
