NEVER ELECTED Announce Re-Release Of “Turbulent” And First Video Single “All My Life”
Never Elected, one of Washington D.C.'s most captivating and electrifying acts, is set to rock the airwaves with their latest single “All My Life”, extracted from the re-released album “Turbulent” coming out on April 19th. The single is also a finalist in this year's 2024 WAMMIES (Washington, D.C.'s version of the Grammy's) for Best Hard Rock / Metal Single along with their other nominations for Best Hard Rock / Metal Band, and Best Hard Rock / Metal Album.
Known for their thought-provoking material centered around socio-political themes, Never Elected continues to leave an indelible mark on the music scene. “All My Life” follows the lived experiences of the protagonist, a flurry of emotions and rough times, set to catchy music that draws the listener in. The band shares a bit of the story within the track:
“All My Life begins with a rhyme that the artist’s grandma sang to him regularly, mocking his ugly looks as a toddler. It is an unfiltered outpouring of frustration directed at all those who have brought adversity into the artist’s life, spanning different periods and across various aspects. It is a brief rant on the hypocrisy and self-serving agendas exhibited by both, close and extended family.”
Watch and listen to the music video for “All My Life” via its premiere on New Noise Magazine HERE.
The re-released album “Turbulent” is a deep reflection of the tumultuous times experienced by the band's vocalist. From rocking out to evoking tears, the audience's reactions to the songs have been diverse and intense, showcasing the emotional depth of Never Elected's music.
Formed by the dynamic duo, Sujit Kumar and Altan Aydin, who share a common love for all things grunge and rock 'n' roll, the band also features Dr. T on melodic bass riffs and Wesley Meyer, the driving force behind the drums. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the band persevered, recording and releasing two singles and music videos that kept their fans engaged during a period of uncertainty.
Recommended for fans of Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, and Guns N' Roses, Never Elected's “Turbulent” is due out on April 19th, 2024, and is available for pre-order at https://neverelected.bandcamp.com.

"It’s really about time that you “Wake Up” and start paying attention to the world around you, including the hard rockers known as Never Elected. The band has just released a visually-stimulating music video to accompany their recent single, a revved-up, riff-driven sonic assault that has been the band’s most successful track since its November 2019 release. “Wake Up” is a preview of what’s to come on the group’s next record which they have been hard at work on this year and are on the verge of completing. If it wasn’t already evident by its title and socio-politically themed lyrics, the hard-hitting music video for “Wake Up” illustrates the fact that the band is out to convey a serious message." - V13
"After releasing the thought-provoking and socio-politically themed video for their song “Wake Up” last year, Washington, DC’s Never Elected is back with a new video for their song “Where You Belong”. The video touches on yet another serious topic. This time dealing with the struggles of mental health, a topic that is taboo to discuss openly in many cultures." - All About The Rock
