SUCKER PUNCH TRADE BLOWS IN āINCOGNITO MODEā VIDEO
Sucker Punch are capping off an explosive fall with the cheeky āIncognito Modeā music video.
āIncognito Modeā is the next single off the New Jersey bandās October EP Better Pleasures, and hits the sweet spot between heavy and catchy thatās critical to the bandās pop punk-emo sound. Introspective and energetic, āIncognito Modeā drives forward the EPās themes of coping and self-improvement.
An anthemic chorus of āIāve been here before / Always chasing the feeling / A little hit of dopamine / Is that too much to ask for me?ā will be ringing in your head before the wildly fun breakdown kicks in with dueling vocals. A forceful call of āWhat a wasteā accents the main vocalsā deliberate repetition, āItās not so sad alone / Iām doing just fine on my own.ā
Crisp production creates a rich, sonic environment, where distorted power chords and moody guitar leads come together to blend tension and aggression.
Sucker Punch bravely faces furious foes as a dodgeball team in the trackās music video. Reminiscent of pop punk classics like āIām Made of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of,ā the video shows the band pulling through a grueling tournament - in matching outfits, of course. Donāt miss the video premiere on BVTV today.
Guitarist Billy Butka gave insight into the music and film they sought to pay homage to: āWe really miss the days of goofy and fun music videos. A Day to Remember were kings of that and itās something we really wanted to take inspiration from. So why not combo that with a favorite movie of the band: āDodgeball.āā
Conquering challenges in both the music video realm and the real world, the band recently rescheduled the Better Pleasures release show after its original venue, Asbury Parkās House of Independents, was forced to close due to flood damage. Saltyās Beach Bar in Lake Como, New Jersey will now host the Double EP Releasemania show co-headlined by Sucker Punch and Halogens on Saturday, December 23.
āIncognito Modeā follows āWorst Case Ontarioā and āIām Ready to Ride Giants, Kunuā to round out Sucker Punchās 2023 singles.

ABOUT SUCKER PUNCH
Sucker Punch is a fresh and hard-hitting band with old ties to both the New Jersey and Philly DIY punk scenes. Garnering influences from The Story So Far, early Fall Out Boy, and New Found Glory, this band bridges the gap between the early 2000s emocore wave of bands, and the current movement of emo and pop punk. Sucker Punch aims to take a strong focus on personal and self-reflective lyrical content, framed within upbeat and catchy riffs and melodies. Within months of starting as a solo project, the band now consists of lifelong friends who all share the same passion for both alternative music and culture. Their EP Better Pleasures takes the bandās sound in a more dynamic and anthemic direction.
