Plush Drops New Music Video "Run" While Taking Over Japan By Storm

All-female rock sensation Plush recently wrapped up their first headlining Find The Beautiful Tour, following an epic, 23-show arena series with Disturbed and Falling In Reverse earlier this year. Plush closed the touring year by heading over the ocean to shake up Japan, where they played a special show in Okinawa on October 5, 2024, at the Futenma Flight Line Fair.

Right before leaving for The Land Of The Rising Sun, Plush has dropped a new music video for their smashing hit "Run," directed by Chase Warren. The song held a spot on the Billboard Top 40 Mainstream Rock Chart for several weeks and is featured on their latest EP, Find the Beautiful, which was released in January under Pavement Entertainment.

The song starts with frontwoman Moriah Formica delivering a strong, intimate message of a painful breakup with someone who wouldn’t let her go but who did cause the relationship to become toxic and completely impossible to continue. Running away as fast as she can is the only solution, and as the story progresses, this proclamation is amplified with more energy and musical intensity. The theme of liberating oneself from a negative person or situation resonates with the experiences of so many listeners, making this story absolutely relatable and deeply personal.

Moriah Formica says, “I wrote ‘Run’ about removing yourself from a toxic person or thing in your life.”

The video setting places the band in an old urban building inside a large, loft-type apartment, mixing the group performance with the scenes where each member is separated in their own part of the building: bassist Ashley Suppa stuck in some narrow stairway, lead guitarist Bella Perron is left alone in a small tiny room, and the drummer Faith Powell is being pushed to the dark corner, while Moriah Formica continues to belt out her story behind some thick metal bars before they return to the main large and well-lit room to express their liberation and unity,

Music video director Chase Warren could not find a better location to artistically use such an authentic urban environment as a colorful undelaying canvas. It helps Plush highlight their stage presence and reveal the spirit of their live shows, capturing the band’s electrifying intensity.

Just before the "Run" music video was released and started gaining viral traction on YouTube and social media, Plush completed their first headline tour for Find the Beautiful, which spanned 26 states. The last show was in Clearwater, Florida, after they rocked a total of 38 shows,11 of which were sold out.

To commemorate this historic tour, Plush has a limited number of signed posters available on their website:

For the band, this story would only be complete with a smashing performance in Okinawa, Japan, on October 5, 2024, at the Futenma Flight Line Fair, where fans greeted Plush with joyful energy and thrilling enthusiasm. Something that echoed the overwhelming success of The Runaways in Japan in 1977.

To thank their Japanese fans and followers, Plush has issued a special, limited version of the Find The Beautiful EP with Japanese lyrics, which is available here:

Oceans On Orion Redefine Nu-Metal with “Breaking the Habit” Ft. Danny Ly Ziser
in Rock, Prog-Rock, Metal

Oceans On Orion, the genre-bending modern metal band based in Tel Aviv, Israel, continues to forge bold new creative paths with their latest release—a striking reimagining of Linkin Park’s emotionally charged anthem, “Breaking the Habit.” Rather than simply recreating the original, the band reconstructs it with intensity and purpose. Featuring the haunting and expressive guest vocals of Israeli singer-songwriter Danny Ly Ziser, this version transforms the song into something deeply personal and sonically powerful.

Layering the original’s emotional depth with crushing djent-style riffs, punchy nu-metal grooves, and a cyberpunk visual aesthetic, Oceans On Orion redefines what it means to honor a classic while reshaping it into something bold and new. From the first frames of the video, viewers are plunged into a dystopian landscape—marked by decaying backdrops and glitch effects—that powerfully mirrors the emotional chaos and introspection at the heart of the song’s lyrics.

For Mike Derosier, Roger Fisher, and Steve Fossen, their journey with the band Reigning Sun is one of perseverance, nostalgia, and musical brilliance. Decades after their initial recording sessions, their album Forest Rain is finally getting the recognition it deserves—proving that true art transcends time.

Originally recorded between 1992 - 1995, Forest Rain was born from a deeply personal and artistic collaboration between guitarist and vocalist Roger Fisher, drummer Mike Derosier, bassist Steve Fossen, and guitarist/vocalist Gino D’Cafango. The project was conceived as a tribute to Roger’s late son, Forest, while also serving as a celebration of their shared musical synergy.
