THE DESIGNS release new video single “FOREVER WRONG”


Electro-metal duo The Designs have released “Forever Wrong”, a new video single from the upcoming debut album [IN]VENT. The video, once again directed by the female half of the duo, Snovonne ‘Sno’ Drake, is a playful, crime documentary-styled take on the song’s otherwise cynical notions of self-doubt and alienation.

As if being yourself was a ‘crime’. So, I chose to have fun with that in the video… the interrogation turns into a dance with a unicorn, the police lineup turns into a party… obviously, being yourself is not a crime, although NOT being yourself probably should be.”
