Nominee of Austin, Texas released their sophomore EP, Drag Me Out, Thursday. Chris Mclelland (I Call Fives), at the helm of the post-hardcore band, presents a 7-track concept album detailing the throes and triumphs of his struggle with bipolar disorder — and, through much collaboration on songwriting among members, stresses, “Musically, Drag Me Out is a reflection of who we are as a band.”
Recently, Nominee premiered the music video for “White Water,” a song detailing the difficulties that come with a need to live up to other’s expectations, on Rock Sound:
I feel like I’ve spent a better part of my life as a door mat, not saying how I feel and letting people walk all over me. I’ve been taken advantage of around every turn. I’ve never had a girlfriend who didn’t cheat and I’ve never had a friend who didn’t stand me up at one point or another. White Water is a culmination of feeling disappointed and betrayed by either family or friends. — Nominee vocalist Christ Mclelland
