Micah Martin has released the video for his brand new single ‘Thrown Away’, the latest song to be taken from his forthcoming debut solo album All I Need out November 20th via Create Music Group. Produced by Kevin Thrasher (Machine Gun Kelly, Blink 182, Avril Lavigne), mixed and mastered by Joel Wanasek (Machine Head, Blessthefall, Miss May I), ‘Thrown Away’ is a huge emotive pop punk song about love’s salvation from self-destruction. The video finds the LA-based Rocktronic pioneer teaming up with his former bandmates of The Zealots for a passionate performance of the pop punk anthem. Watch it here. Regarding the video Micah Martin says, “‘Thrown Away’ was always one of the songs from the album that I knew needed a great music video. It felt only right to bring the video back to my hometown and work with my friend and videographer, Joe Gibbs. Joe absolutely crushed it, and we were lucky enough to shoot the entire video at my old studio. The top floor is basically a collection of abandoned rooms that ended up being the perfect backdrop for the video. I also knew I wanted to include my best friends and former bandmates from The Zealots, Ryan Housenga and Adam Housenga. It was honestly incredible to jam with my boys again for the first time since COVID. Even though we were just running through the song a few times for the video, there was something about being in a room together and playing music again that felt really special. It brought back a lot of memories and made the whole experience feel like a full-circle moment.” Continuing about the single he says, ““‘Thrown Away’ is one of the most personal pop punk songs on the album. It’s about changing parts of who you are for someone you love and then finding yourself terrified that, despite everything you’ve done, it still might never be enough. There’s this push and pull between feeling like someone saved you from yourself and being afraid that you’re going to lose the person who helped make you who you are. I wanted the song to capture that messy, desperate feeling of loving someone so much that you’re willing to fight for it even when you’re not sure they’re fighting for you anymore. Sonically, it leans into that nostalgic pop punk side of me while still fitting into the bigger rocktronic world of the album. I decided to work with Kevin Thrasher on this because I knew he could really bring that sound to life and turn this idea into an absolute pop punk anthem!” ‘Thrown Away’ follows the release of previous singles including ‘Burn Them All (feat. OddKidOut)’, a track which pairs heavy guitars, screams and jump-up drum & bass, as well as ‘Tomorrow’s Over’, a blistering rocktronic track which blends crushing metal riffs, a pounding rhythm and brutal breakdowns made in collaboration with rocktronic peer HIGHSOCIETY. The forthcoming All I Need sits at an intersection leading a thrilling collision between electronic bass music and rock, metal and punk. Few artists move credibly between those two scenes, and Micah has turned that rare dual fluency into his signature – the foundation of a Rocktronic sound he’s helped forge. All I Need is a cover-to-cover representation of Micah Martin, reflecting the punk, rock and metal worlds he came up in while bridging to his new world of electronic bass music, creating a unique soundscape in which he reigns supreme.
