As It Is are gearing up for the release of their debut full length album, Never Happy, Ever After next week on April 21st. You can pre-order the album by heading over to iTunes for digital release and physically through Merchnow, which each include instant downloads of “Dial Tones”, “Concrete”, and “Cheap Shots & Setbacks.”But why wait until then, when you can stream the whole album on Pandora here: http://www.pandora.com/station/play/1411412518987239135/23971315977951
In addition to the album stream, they have released a new music video for their song, Cheap Shots & Setbacks. It is a very cool creative video which was filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Dan Centrone. Guitarist and vocalist Ben Biss explains more about the song,
“‘Cheap Shots & Setbacks’ is in essence about being the outcast, the underdog, but instead of letting it bring you down, embracing it fully; not letting anyone else change the way you feel you should be. We can’t wait for everyone to finally hear this album, it feels like it’s been a long time in the works and we just hope it means as much to even one kid as it means to us. We just wanted to create something honest and true to ourselves and we hope people will relate to the depths of the minds of us kids who seem happy on the surface”
