Whenyoung release video for ‘Given Up’

After announcing their new EP last week, Whenyoung have shared the video for their new song ‘Given Up’.

In the clip, which was directed by Dazed’s editorial director Bunny Kinney, we see the Dublin band perform in London’s Peckham Liberals Club, whilst interspersed with clips of a character trying to avoid temptations on a night out.

The band explain: “‘Given Up’ was written after a series of late nights and self-inflicted misdirection. The central message is to take your life by the reins and create your own future.” It’s taken from their new EP of the same name which is due out 9th November. You can watch the video below.
