The Winery Dogs release “Mad World” video

The Winery Dogs have released a music video for “Mad World.” It’s from the power trio’s upcoming album, III, available February 3.

About the track, singer/guitarist Richie Kotzen says, “’Get on the bus, go do the exercise’ is the opening line of the song and it really sets the tone. The song is dealing with a certain attitude or way of thinking forced on individuals regardless of your own life experience or unique individuality. I remember a time where opposing opinions and viewpoints were more accepted. A good old healthy debate was a great thing back then. This song is really shining a light on how there may be certain consequences to pay if you don’t think a certain way. It’s also reflected in the lyric, ‘You’d better bite your tongue so you sound the same.’ It also offers a glimmer of hope in its chorus with the line ‘Turn from a scar into a pearl.’ So it’s not all doom and gloom. There’s always a chance to turn things around.”
