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:

John Ivan Report: Tony MacAlpine & Luis Kalil Clinic at Musicians Institute, Hollywood
in Rock, Prog-Rock, Metal

Written by John Ivan - GuitarSlinger

It’s always a special feeling to return to Musicians Institute (MI) — the place where my American musical journey began. My time there is etched in memory with warmth and excitement: it was my first trip to the U.S., I studied under some of MI’s finest instructors, met lifelong friends and serious musicians, and made my first real connections in the professional music industry out West.

I’ve been keeping an eye on MI’s events ever since — they consistently bring in legendary artists and put on one-of-a-kind clinics and performances you simply won’t find anywhere else in California. One such event was the recent clinic featuring the iconic Tony MacAlpine and young shred sensation Luis Kalil, held on Wednesday, July 30th, 2025, at the MI Concert Hall.
Torchlight Parade’s Children of the Night: A Macabre Celebration of Rock and Horror
in Rock, Prog-Rock, Metal

Few bands embrace their identity with the theatrical gusto of Torchlight Parade. The St. Louis mortuary metal troupe has returned with Children of the Night, a full-length release through Pavement Entertainment that stands as much a celebration of horror culture as it does a statement of hard rock conviction. What makes Torchlight Parade compelling isn’t just their sound but the authenticity behind it.

Fronted by licensed embalmer and vocalist Matt Engel and his brother Doug, a hearse-driving lead guitarist, the band quite literally lives the world it projects on stage. That sense of gothic reality is further grounded by family ties, with Doug’s son Samuel locking down the low end on bass and Gavin Martin driving the pulse on drums. Together, they’ve forged not only a distinctive sound but an immersive live experience that pushes rock beyond performance into full-scale spectacle.
Oceans On Orion Find Catharsis in Chaos with “Met My Match”
in Rock, Prog-Rock, Metal

A raw, confessional single that tears down façades while carrying forward the band’s evolving sound.

With their latest single “Met My Match,” Oceans On Orion push into darker, more vulnerable territory, crafting a track that’s raw in emotion and relentless in sound. Rather than offering closure, the song lingers in the aftermath, echoing the words spoken in haste and the recognition that our flaws are often reflected back by those we love. It’s confessional, chaotic, and painfully honest.

Confessional in tone yet explosive in delivery, “Met My Match” refuses to dress pain in metaphor or disguise it behind polished sentiment. Instead, it exposes the mess head-on, amplifying regret, chaos, and brutal self-awareness into something that feels both cathartic and cuttingly relatable. For anyone who has ever stared at their phone after a 2 a.m. text they wish they hadn’t sent, the song provides not comfort, but company in the wreckage.
Dystopica Unleash Semblance of Order: A Fierce New Chapter in Modern Metal
in Rock, Prog-Rock, Metal

With their fourth record, Semblance of Order, Dystopica steps boldly into a new phase of creative evolution. Released through Pavement Entertainment, the EP serves as both a declaration and recalibration, signaling a move toward a heavier, more assertive identity while still honoring the melodic and progressive instincts that define their sound. Across all seven tracks and just over twenty-two minutes, the record delivers a concentrated statement of intent: faster, harder, and uncompromising in execution.

Produced by Nick Bellmore, whose resume includes work with iconic figures like Dee Snider, Corpsegrinder, and Hatebreed, the EP benefits from a production style that feels tight and modern without sterilizing the band’s natural edge, with a mix balancing weight and clarity. Compared to Perception (2021), Deception (2022), and Infinite Reflection (2024), this release feels more focused and deliberate, honing in on heaviness with songs that are concise, layered, and unmistakably memorable.
