Its music video is an homage to Wes Anderson’s concept of “sad characters in pastel places,” shot at local Oakland businesses frequented by the band and local punks of all generations including; 1234 Go! Records, the legendary 924 Gilman Street, Aburaya, and the band’s favorite tiki bar, Kona Club. You can even spot some of their owners in comedic cameos.

“When it came to choosing locations for the shoot, we immediately gravitated toward our favorite spots, places where we grab food and drinks, buy records, get our guitars fixed, catch shows, and unwind,” said drummer and Details co-founder Gideon Berger. “Partnering with local businesses in our community was important to us, and everyone we worked with was incredibly accommodating and easy to collaborate with.”

‘Take Me Alive’ is the band’s first original release since their debut 2023 album Runaway (Double Helix Records), kicking off an exciting new chapter. To accompany the track, the band is also dropping a high-energy, performance-based music video, shot by Like Roses guitarist Devin Zamora and edited by lead singer/guitarist Tess Stevens.

‘Take Me Alive’ marks new territory for the band, channeling a more stadium-rock sound. It’s the first of three singles recorded in the Bay Area by Scott Goodrich (The Story So Far, Broadway Calls, Decent Criminal) and mastered by John Naclerio (My Chemical Romance, Bayside, Brand New).

Stevens hopes the lyrics inspire people to question what’s happening in the world. “The song is about rejecting the stupidity we see online, unplugging ourselves from the things that cause us self doubt,” she says. “It’s about telling the world to ‘take you alive’ as you truly are.”
