Launchpad client Messer continues their scorching start, launching their second single and video for  “Save Myself,” the follow up to their Top 30 debut single and #1 researching rock song “Make This Life.”

“This song is about someone that is on the precipice of change/action,” says bassist Maddox Messer. “It’s about the empowerment one feels when they’ve finally had enough of an abusive relationship and take action. We hope it gives strength to those who have and are facing abusive relationships, so they can say to themselves “With perspective I can change, I can Save Myself.”

Messer’s album debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top New Artist Chart, and the band is currently on tour with Gemini Syndrome.
