NYC band Bedridden destroy lamps in new video for "Chainsaw"

Brooklyn band Bedridden are excited to share the second single from their debut album Moths Strapped To Eachother’s Backs, out April 11, 2025, via Philadelphia-based tastemaker label Julia’s War Recordings. Out now with an official music video, “Chainsaw” features roaring guitars to soundtrack roommate frustrations and pent-up annoyances, ultimately ending in mangled lamps against an eerie, woodsy backdrop. The video was filmed in Phoenicia, NY during the making of the artwork for their imminent debut and edited by Victoria Winter (Shower Curtain).

“The song is written from my perspective about a time when I made an uncertain decision to move in with a partner and her friend and a slew of manic stories that ensued after the fact," vocalist and guitarist Jack Riley explains “One of the stories was that of the roommates incessantly searching to buy a new lamp and how it bothered me. The video is me trying to break through that anger by destroying the lamps.”

A collection of ten songs recorded last year at Studio G and produced by Momma’s Aron Kobayashi Ritch, their imminent debut is a thrashing but tight-edged look at tumultuous adult life. The first preview of the record arrived last month in the form of “Etch,” a melancholic song driven by anger and the need for release through violence. Guitar riffs pass through each other like missed punches but Riley’s vocals land like a sucker punch.

Bedridden began in New Orleans when Riley was in college, and continued when he moved to New York and he enlisted bassist Sebastian Duzian and drummer Nicholas Pedroza to form a live band. The initial lineup shared their debut EP, Amateur Heartthrob in 2023, which includes fan-favorite songs like “Clara’s Mouth” and “Soft Soap.” Now a Brooklyn-based project, the trio recently added guitarist Wesley Wolffe to the mix.
