DEMAR Premieres WILD RIDE Video with Noctis Magazine

Alternative pop singer/songwriter DEMAR is premiering her new video for 'Wild Ride' exclusively on Noctis Magazine. Watch HERE. 'Wild Ride' is about the ups and downs of a relationship as it disintegrates,' DEMAR explains. 'The music video brings to life this narrative of feeling engulfed by the situation.' As DEMAR watches her own experience unfold in front of her throughout the video, she recalls the draining nature of being pushed away and pulled right back in again. 'Wild Ride' is taken from DEMAR's debut EP, Rebels, which was released this past October and described as 'emotionally charged electropop' by PopMatters and 'infectiously good dark-pop' by Brightest Young Things. In support, DEMAR will be embarking on a short Midwest tour with Howie Day later this month. For more information, please visit: www.demarmusic.com.
