Undefeated - Official Music Video - SUMO CYCO

[@SUMOCYCO]

Anyone have any questions for me while I'm here?! -SEV Some interesting facts from the video. Undefeated was filmed and edited in two days and was one of the most challenging videos we've done yet. A snow storm hit the day of filming which looks awesome on film but caused our vehicles to get stuck trying to get to and from the location, not to mention pretty cold for the band and crew. The skull masks we're wearing are custom made by a fan named Glen in California who works in special effects and film. This is the first time we've had dancers come and do choreography in our videos. I love it because dancehall rhythms are so important to our sound. I was going to try and learn some of their moves but didn't have time.. they're sooo goood! The concept of the video was inspired by the awesome location we had access to. But we wanted to bring color and hope to the abandoned weathered and gloomy backdrops to echo the sentiment of the lyrics The song Undefeated started with a lyric idea: "No one is safe". I was playing a show in Germany and a bunch of people in the audience were hanging at the back of the venue. I always try to get the crowd to participate so I climbed up on top of their table and yelled, "No one is safe!". MD our guitarist loved it so much that he asked if I could make a shirt that said that, from then on it became a bit of a moto for our live performance, eventually we wrote it into this song. Undefeated's lyrics have resonated with me so much more after we wrote it. We finished the song a few months ago then life started throwing the band and myself curve balls. We had set back after set back, personal and professional struggles, failure, rejection and it felt like we just kept getting kicked while we were down. We just kept "singing through the sorrow" so it will be a cathartic to release the song, proving that we can come out the other side stronger.

You metioned an accoustic version on the VIP sessions in march? Any plans to do a recording of it?

[@SUMOCYCO]

Do you mean an acoustic recording of the song? Or of the VIP?

[@xxXXChewyXXxx]

The song itself

[@evetsniknar]

Any plans for shows on the east coast? Nova Scotia specifically...

[@SUMOCYCO]

Well if you noticed the acoustic EP has a VOL.1 in the title. ;)

[@Neal_YouTube]

I saw this band last night opening for Jinjer, and was impressed. The lead singer sounds exactly like she does here, great voice, great stage presence, and no fear. She left the stage and went into the crowd and had everyone kneeling and then jump up and start jumping with the song. Later she went to the edge of the pit and got people worked up. It was unreal. New fan here.

[@nogodsnomasters666]

She a great frontwoman and can sing but the music kind of blows

What a heavy, high energy song this is! Love the rock riffs, and how catchy the chorus is. The rhythm is contagious. Powerful lead singer and gorgeous female vocals. Love it!

[@SUMOCYCO]

Thanks for noticing all those elements...

[@mitchellcambron2440]

The black skull on the van being on his phone is hilarious. Thanks to Dev for introducing me to you guys, consider me a supporter!

I've just recently discovered you and I love how energizing your songs are! Complete earworms!

Never tire of Ragga Metal Punk Hiphop.

I echo that

[@jamesbixler3711]

I do not know how I never heard this band before today. I guess I have been working too much. On my way into the office this morning I heard them on Liquid Metal. Instantly love this band now

[@SUMOCYCO]

Cheers James! Welcome to the fam

[@jamesbixler3711]

@@SUMOCYCO excited. Can't wait to get a chance to see you all live.

[@strydant32]

Two parts made me go wow inside my head. The first was when Sever hit the camera to pan and it cut seamlessly to the band performing the chorus. The second was when Sever climbed through the window and got to the mic JUST in time to start singing. Seriously, your DIY style is only growing. I love the music, too!

[@SUMOCYCO]

haha thanks Nate! We worked on those shots!

[@Zzsmuf]

Love the growl in the voice.

[@Zeylo89]

lol as a teenager i loved her pop album noise from the basement, im just glad she still makes music

[@RealPearlMania]

Sumo Cyco are so far beyond weird that they've created a new type of extreme weird & we all love it! 💙

[@jessesikora955]

This just made my day. I wasn't expecting new music from Sumo Cyco when I got up this morning so this was certainly a pleasant surprise. What doesn't surprise me is how much I love it!

[@SUMOCYCO]

Thanks Jesse! Hope to see you at the next show!

Just seen you guys open for JInJer in nyc (2019) and we were totally blown away from your guys performance and forwardness ...we thought “sumo cyco “ was the name of the speaker boxes! rock on 🤘 you have new FANS from NJ ..... “hi energy “ is a true statement

[@zungle6626]

Just stumbled onto this band via Itunes..... Very cool song.....I like it!!

Absolutely love it. As always the song is great and the video is fantastic. Love it! Love that you're still directing and designing the videos. It really has created this awesome cohesive stylistic whole to the Cyco world!

Liked what I saw at Fubar in STL the other night.

[@Smitherrz]

saw them in San Diego opening for Jinjer and this girl stole the fucking show. super fun band

[@jasavesimmons7801]

"One day you'll see me I'll haunt you when you're dreaming". Hard rock metal version on number one would be awesome.

[@jasavesimmons7801]

Like when WWE made an "Aggression" album that was more aggressive versions of the entrance songs. Call it "Sever in your Basement"

[@jeffsienkiewicz7119]

Said it on the bystander video and I’ll say it again here. Getting a serious no doubt took the metal route instead of pop and I’m super diggin it!

Ok... great to see, thanks .

first time seeing Sumo Cyco was with Nonpoint and Butcher Babies on the kings and queens tour. I was so happy to see them on the Jinjer tour. such a 1, 2, punch.

[@airhead6258]

I'M OBSESSED

[@ljkanopka3175]

I've seen the count numbers of Sumo videos jump in the past weeks since Bystander and the Napalm signing. This band really could be on the verge of being huge. In fact, I have no idea why they aren't already. And this songs kills.

[@raymondleggs5508]

Never thought id hear metal and dancehall/reggae togeather. Me like!

[@punkyagogo]

Dave Baksh’s Brown Brigade went for a similar sound. Now that he’s back in Sum 41, they’re defunct, but their catalog is definitely worth checking out!

[@dontrayler9292]

Great voice and got moves..... wow 🤩

Thank you!

[@Dylang51]

I don't have a question but I do feel you guys should do an honest to god long form music video. Something like Michael Jackson's Thriller or even an old school rock opera like Tommy or Rocky Horror. I've had a couple local Atlanta bands talk to me about it but it never seems to materialize. Still, I think it's a good idea and a great way to really differentiate yourself from other groups.

[@icecoldrugby]

Some of their older MVs are like that.
