Thrilled to bring you the video premiere of ‘Never Ending Story’ – the awesome new single from the bright new hope in UK pop-punk, Raisin Awareness.

A song of solidarity and hope in the face of a, let’s face it, pretty shitty world, ‘Never Ending Story’ is out now via Lockjaw Records. In the words of Jo D, the band’s lead vocalist, and guitarist,

“When you actually sit down and think about how fucked the world is and that you’re part of that mess, it can feel overwhelming. Some of us have gotten very good at justifying our actions due to their convenience, or some of us simply stick our heads in the sand.”

“Lyrically, ‘Never Ending Story’ comes from my own battle with feeling helpless about the state of the world and not wanting to give up hope that if we come together in solidarity, we will prevail.”

‘Never Ending Story’ is the first single from the band’s forthcoming album, Currant Times – promising powerful messages about mental health, social issues, and protecting our planet, with retro punkrock styling.

“We want to make music that’s fun but also meaningful. We want to use our platform to inspire change and connect with people who are trying to make the world a better place.”
