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:

Exclusive Live Show Review: Bruce Dickinson At The Observatory With Night Demon
in Rock, Prog-Rock, Metal

By John Ivan

I could never say that I used to be a huge Iron Maiden fan, but when I learned that my old-time friend Mistheria, A.K.A. Giuseppe Iampieri, the mastermind behind Vivaldi Metal Project, is playing keyboards with the great Bruce Dickinson on his 2024 tour in support of Bruce’s new album, “The Mandrake Project,” and they will be playing one of their very first shows of the tour at The Observatory in Santa Ana, CA on April 15th, I just couldn’t miss it!

An even bigger surprise hit me when I read that Brian Wilson (Night Demon, Hellwitch, Yngwie Malmsteen), an exceptionally talented drummer, with whom I collaborated on “Never Give Up” feat. Nick Z Marino music video is playing with the Night Demon, a supporting act for Bruce Dickinson on that one and only announced U.S. show!
