Los Angeles Alt-Rock Group Cuffed Up Announce New EP With Video For “Bonnie”

After signing to Royal Mountain Records earlier this year, Los Angeles alternative rock group Cuffed Up have officially announced their new EP Asymmetry will be out on October 22nd. Alongside the news, the quartet have shared the pummelling new single “Bonnie” and its narrative-driven music video.

Soundtracked by a punching duet between vocalists & guitarists Ralph Torrefranca and Saphhire Jewell, “Bonnie” channels elements of Silversun Pickups and Joy Formidable with its crushing instrumentation. About the new music video, the group share: “‘Bonnie’ is an anti-love anthem about the grief and pitfalls of a serious relationship crumbling due to lies and deceit. This is explored through the eyes of Bonnie (of Bonnie & Clyde fame), in an alternative universe where Clyde selfishly leaves Bonnie for dead. Bonnie is arrested and she decides to give Clyde up to the cops out of pure spite. Not because he left her in a dangerous situation — purely because of the end of their romantic, albeit toxic relationship.”

Directed by Torrefranca, who is an award-winning filmmaker outside of Cuffed Up, the video stars himself and Jewell in a role-swapping episode of the notorious couple.
