Alternative rock quartet MARISA AND THE MOTHS are back on the scene with a brand new music video for the latest single ‘Nothing’s Getting Better’. Tackling the unbalanced seriousness of women’s health issues in medical fields, including the lack of information and research funding for endometriosis, this track sees front-woman Marisa Rodriguez confront the topic with her powerhouse signature fry vocals.
On the inspiration behind the new single and video, Marisa shares:
“‘Nothing’s Getting Better’ is about having one of those days where everything feels like it’s falling apart and learning to laugh at the chaos while you’re still in the middle of it. The music video is a very literal take on ‘falling apart’, with a tongue-in-cheek gory vibe. I’m so excited about how it’s come together and can’t wait for everyone to see it. It’s also a strong statement of progression and a new direction for the band, which I’m really looking forward to exploring further.
I wrote this song after coming back from yet another hospital appointment where I was trying to get the surgery I need for my endometriosis. It was another dead end, and I remember feeling completely defeated. At the same time, everything else in my life felt like it was collapsing in on itself – money worries, career and relationship struggles, and a recent diagnosis of ADHD, BPD and CPTSD that I was still trying to come to terms with. The song actually started out sounding really sad when I wrote it acoustically, but turning it into this upbeat emo anthem gave it a real sense of defiance – turning that pain into something powerful that other people can connect with.”
