New Haven, CT emo/pop-punks Mighty Tortuga close out the year with a new video, and TGEFM was lucky enough to snag the premiere for YOU. “Free” was final single from the band’s Eternal Sunshine EP, released this past July via Heading East Records.
We asked the band to talk about “Free” and why they chose that track for the video:
Before we launch into a new year & era of the band, we wanted to put together a video that encapsulates this past year for us. We signed our first record deal, we’ve played more shows in more cities this year than ever before, and we made sure to capture as much of the awesome emotions we’ve felt this year in this video.
This single is sonically more nostalgic and lighthearted than the others on the record, but still stays true to the subject matter and relatability that Mighty Tortuga fans know and love.
2023 will contain another new EP, being our first non-DIY record, and we can’t wait to have you on the journey with us!
Mighty Tortuga have a couple of shows planned in their home state in the coming weeks. So head on down to be part of their journey if you’re in the area. You can find the details of those gigs, and the new video, below.
