AUSTIN MEADE SHARES NSFW "DOPAMINE DROP" VIDEO

VIDEO CAPTURES THE LIFE ON THE ROAD OF A CONSTANTLY ON-TOUR ARTIST

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Austin Meade, who is a little bit country, a little bit rock, and a whole lotta heart, has released the slightly NSFW video for "Dopamine Drop." Watch it below.

The video captures life on the road and the tour grind. There's plenty of backstage antics and hijinks, tattoo sessions, truck stops, blowup dolls, the partying, the good times, and of course, lots and lots of performances.

"This year, we have been crazy busy, in new areas all over the country," Meade reflects about the video, which offers a slice of road life. "It's hard to look back and remember all the new things happening at once, so I wanted to document some of the 2021 tour and give everyone a raw look at the road. The only way to keep a band together after months of overnight drives, and limited personal space, is by loosening up and enjoying the small stuff. 'Dopamine Drop' was written about that exact feeling, so it was the right song for the footage. A huge thanks to my crew for sticking out the long hours and thanks to all of our new road family for making this year a big milestone for us."

The song appears on the artist's Snakefarm Records' debut Black Sheep, which is out now. Get it here.

The video arrives at the perfect time, as Meade is currently on tour, with additional dates booked into 2022. All confirmed dates are below.

AUSTIN MEADE SHARES "LYING TO MYSELF" VIDEO

NEW ALBUM BLACK SHEEP OUT NOW

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Austin Meade has dropped the video for "Lying to Myself."

Watch the clip, which examines the modern dating scene and features a clown, HERE.

"We're all clowns at heart looking for a place to fit in," Meade explains about the song and the visual. "It's fun to see the initial fall and eventual rise of the main character. I feel like I've been there before. Fitting all that storyline into just a few minutes was a challenge...there are a lot of hidden gems. You don't have to take everything so seriously."

The song appears on the artist's Snakefarm Records' debut Black Sheep, which is out now. Get it here. Also, the single "Happier Alone" has already racked up an impressive 5 million streams, which is a massive feat for a new artist such as Meade.

ABOUT AUSTIN MEADE:

Austin Meade's songs and stories are contradictory yet cohesive. On his Snakefarm Records debut, Black Sheep, his influences — musical and otherwise — are as varied and rich as the small-town Texas soil that nurtured his talent and yielded these 12 stellar songs ranging from multi-layered musicality and storytelling to dark alt-pop to new age and Sabbath-inspired. Thanks to his metal-and classic-rock loving dad, Meade got to see bands like Judas Priest and worshipped Whitesnake at a young age. In junior high, he related to the intense emo-rock of Paramore and Fall Out Boy, as well as the power of songwriters like John Mayer. Yet, thanks to plainspoken but deep heartland songwriters like Tom Petty, and cutting his teeth touring in the Texas and Oklahoma Red Dirt scene, Meade’s music overflows with wide-open soulfulness. He was a drummer for years, even teaching to pay the bill. Meade eventually found his true voice when he began playing guitar as a teen in his pastor father’s church. Those experiences lend both a gravitas and rebelliousness to Meade's songs and self.

AUSTIN MEADE SHARES VIDEO FOR NEW VERSION OF "HAPPIER ALONE" FEATURING KOE WETZEL

NEW ALBUM BLACK SHEEP ARRIVES MARCH 19, 2021

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Austin Meade has shared the video for the new version of his song "Happier Alone," featuring new Columbia Records phenom Koe Wetzel.

"Koe has been a big supporter, and our bands have been friends for a while," Meade explains about how the collaboration came to be. "He was really into 'Happier Alone' before we even put it out, so the rest just happened naturally. The dude has a killer voice and I really like the way he finds melodies and interesting phrases with lyrics. It was important to me that this feature was with someone I respected and could relate to. We cut his new part while out on a run of shows and came up with a new storyline/perspective to the video that is hilarious. It's too much damn fun to joke around for a living."

Meade also reveals that this song is arriving on not one but two very special occasions, sharing, "This version is coming out on the one-year anniversary of the original 'Happier Alone' — just in time to give Valentine's Day the middle finger once more."

Wetzel weighed in regarding his participation, saying, "Whenever Ii first heard the song, I was like, 'Damn, this shit is awesome.' It turned out to be our lake song for the summer of 2020. So when Meade asked me to cut a verse on it, I was honored. I've always been a fan of his style of writing, and putting together music, I hope we can nail down some more tunes in the future."

The Koe Wetzel-assisted version of "Happier Alone" is a standalone single. The original version appears on Meade's upcoming Snakefarm Records' debut Black Sheep, which arrives on March 19, 2021. The album is available for pre-order here.

If you are "Happier Alone" this Valentine's Day, why not send an anti-V Day e-card? Go here to share.

NEW ALBUM BLACK SHEEP ARRIVES MARCH 19, 2021

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Austin Meade, who sprung up from the Red Dirt music scene, has dropped the video for his new single "Déjà vu."

"Every day feels the same when sitting still," Meade shares. "Falling in line and being told what to do gets boring — as soon as I realize what's happening. There's usually a few peaceful moments on co-pilot mode before freaking out and changing the routine. I thought I might escape that by traveling and playing music. But it turns out that you do the same routine, just in new places. Whether it's Sunday afternoon getting prepared for the work week, Sunday afternoon getting ready for school, Sunday afternoon enjoying your church luncheon, or Sunday afternoon hungover on a 12-hour van ride...it all feels the same after a while."

The song lives on Meade's Snakefarm Records' debut Black Sheep, which arrives on March 19, 2021. The album is available for pre-order here..

SNAKEFARM SIGNS SINGER/SONGWRITER/GUITARIST AUSTIN MEADE

Austin Meade's official music video for 'Happier Alone' from the album Black Sheep - out February 19th on Snakefarm Records http://austinmeade.merchnow.com h...

NEW ALBUM BLACK SHEEP ARRIVES FEBRUARY 19, 2021

Snakefarm Records is pleased to announce the signing of singer, songwriter, and guitarist Austin Meade to the roster. Meade and his music sprung up from the Red Dirt music scene, as he deftly fuses country and rock 'n' roll in a DNA-distinct way.

Meade will release his label debut Black Sheep on February 19, 2021.

To herald the announcement, the artist has shared the video for "Happier Alone." The track is already shaping up to be a hit, surpassing 2 million streams in the U.S. alone.

"I played this song at least 30 times the first day we wrote it," Meade explains, offering some insight into the track and its accompanying visual "For me, it doesn't get old and the idea for the video was sitting in my head for a few months. It's a tip of the hat to my high school hometown: Brenham, Texas. I've always wanted to go back and shoot a video with old friends in the places that we loved hanging out when we were younger. So we got a killer crew together and made it happen."

He continues, "'Happier Alone' turned into the exact early 2000's sound that I've always loved, and the video keeps that nostalgic aura alive. 'You could be happier alone' is a pretty heavy statement when standing alone as text on a page. But the music and video give you a peek inside our true intentions of keeping life funny and enjoying the small moments — like an old roller rink couple's skate."

About the signing, Meade shares, "I'm excited to have an opportunity to work with a team that believes in what we are doing. We could have all made excuses for this year to be a wash. But instead, kept moving and built one hell of a crew. The Black Sheep crew is coming for you."
