Indie Emo Rock Group Pohgoh Keep Their Head Up On New Single “Weeds”

Since rejoining forces in 2016 after almost two decades apart, Tampa-based emo rock veterans Pohgoh released their third album du und ich on November 4th. Alongside the release, the four-piece shared the new music video for their latest focus single “Weeds”, packing together a number of personal obstacles into the resilient offering.

“After my diagnosis [with MS] one year into our marriage, Keith and I became an “us against the world” kind of couple”, shares vocalist/guitarist Susie Ulrey. “We’ve been in the weeds together since 2001, ducking every curveball MS throws at us. Weeds is about living with illness and loss and the uncertainty that the pandemic brought into all of our lives. It’s about how we were all locked down with our families with that strange combination of reconnection, tedium and the unknowns that we were faced with. It’s also about the people we love that are grieving, too, and how grief doesn’t ever really go away. You have to make space for it and carry it with you“.

Susie’s sweet-textured vocals add an extra layer of hopefulness that is brought forth with the band’s catchy, guitar-driven indie rock sound.

As for the music video, the band let the family tag along for the ride. “We wanted to include some of those moments of lockdown with our families, highlighting the boredom and the monotony and cabin fever that masked the rumble of dread we were all feeling“, Susie adds.
