The quintet has also debuted a brand new music video for the record’s latest single, “Alone.”
“‘Alone’ is a song about how tiring it can be to constantly hear what people want you to be and never want to hear from you about what you want to be, or better yet, just support you. The song itself is a dichotomy, a conversation between two people. Person A is telling Person B how they believe they should be, while Person B is saying maybe he’s better off without Person A … Without their “advice”, or baggage. How will we ever know who WE are, what OUR accomplishments are – if we’re constantly living for others, yet we’re unsatisfied? That’s what ‘Alone’ is about!” – Tyler, Of Virtue, (vocalist)

Formed in Lansing, Michigan in 2009 with the concept of bringing positivity to their listeners, OF VIRTUEcame out strong with their 2009 EP ‘To Breathe Again.’ The band followed in 2012 with ‘Learn/Love’, a limited release EP, which sold out almost immediately. In 2015, Of Virtue added more power to their sound via the release, ‘Salvation‘, an album which has grown to be a staple for the band’s sound. Later in 2017, the band released a stand-alone single, “Ghost Town,” and quickly added it to their live show only to be met with a major positive response. After this the band followed with their breakthrough singles ‘Surrounded,’ ‘Torn Apart’ and ‘Suffer.’
