Pharmacose

Alt Rock quartet Pharmacose have shared a music video for their single ‘Checked Out’.

Inspired by rhythmic guitars and well-driven bass and drums, the Jacksonville, Florida, band is a cluster of optimised rock music that seems to piece together with ease.

In the video, it features the band – Wesley Jones, Lu Rubino, Albert Cruz, Kevin Horne – in a mental institution dressed in white prison-like drab with flashbacks to the band performing in their usual all black gear.

Of the single, frontman Wesley said: “‘Checked Out’ is about how I felt during that time in my life when I was recovering from a manic episode that I had been through a few months prior.

“My medication regimen hadn’t been optimized, so I wasn’t feeling bad, but I wasn’t feeling very good either.

“It’s is about escapism, be it through video games or social media, and avoiding the real world. And that’s kind of what I did during the early days after that episode.”
