JAKARTA - The alternative-rock band The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (RJA) broke the silence by releasing the latest single and video 'Slipping Through (No Kings)' via Better Noise Music. Five years since the EP 'Emergency' which was released in 2020, they came back with something that inspired their souls.
With the riff full of urgency and scathing lyrics, the song sparked a warning of social chaos in the United States, as well as paving the way for their latest studio album to be announced in the next few months.
"It's about what's happening in our country, everything we're defending is 'slipping through!' said the vocalist and founder of RJA,rocky Winter. My neighbors are gone, the families are scattered. They are not foreigners, they are friends, the people we love. Just like Jesus said, love typhoon, that's the core of this song.
Produced with hitmaker Matt Squire, 'Slipping Through (No Kings)' is also presented through an animated video of Steve Tramposch & Jamie Lewis. Presented in black-and-white images of dystopia, a pair of X Boy and X Girl watched their best friend dragged by a dark car. The X-algem in the eyes depicts disappointment, while X in the mouth depicts a silenced voice.
At the climax of this video, the two young men raised the flag of Alliance, a symbol of the RJA fanbase rebellion which was then followed by an explosion scene in color that marked the revival and solidarity of the new generation.
