Now available a new music video for the song “LOVE AND DEATH” by Stitched Up Heart, as per theprp. This song is from Stitched Up Heart’s most recent album, “MEDUSA,” which was released in June. It features Austin John Winkler, the founder and former Hinder. Members of Nonpoint, Butcher Babies, Conquer Divide, and other bands all contributed their skills during that nearly entirely cameo-filled excursion.

Vocalist Alecia “Mixi” Demner founded the band Stitched Up Heart in 2010. Later, she recruited fellow guitarist Mikey Alfero and current New Year’s Day guitarist Nikki Misery, along with bassist David DiSarro and drummer Andrew Carroll. The five-piece band then released a self-titled EP on November 22, 2010, which was only available for download. The EP included the songs “We’re Alive” and “Is This the Way You Get to Hell?” The second EP, “Escape the Nightmare”, was released in 2011. Following the release, Alfero, Misery, and Carroll departed the group in 2011. Mixi and current drummer James Decker reorganised the group, finally bringing in Grant Webb, Nicky Warman, and Dave DiSarro for a few performances.

For a few U.S. tours, this lineup quickly changed to only Mixi, Decker, Grant, and bassist Derek Jochmann. Following Jochmann’s departure in 2013, the band had yet another lineup change. Jerry took his place, but Merritt Goodwin soon followed. After Grant left, Stitched Up Heart remained a four-piece band with Luke Man on guitar. “Skeleton Key”, a new EP by Stitched Up Heart, was released on May 20, 2014. Dorian Dolore became the band’s second guitarist in 2015, however guitarist Nick Bedrosian took his position in 2016. Stitched Up Heart was signed to Another Century Records in 2015 after spending a number of years honing their sound, creating demos, and performing in neighbourhood clubs.

Finally Free,” a new single that was released in late 2015, eventually peaked at No. 19 on the Active Rock Radio Chart in the United States. The song “Event Horizon” debuted on Billboard.com on June 3, 2016, and a follow-up single, “Monster,” co-produced and co-written by Marc Jordan and Mitchell Marlow, was released on April 29, 2016. On June 17, 2016, the band’s major label debut album, “Never Alone”, was published. It debuted in the Top 10 on the Hard Rock and Billboard Heatseeker charts.
