"This song was inspired by some individuals who latch on to the misfortune of others and try to claim it as their own."

"This song was inspired by some individuals who latch on to the misfortune of others and try to claim it as their own."

River Black, the band that consists of guitarist John Adubato (ex-Burnt By The Sun), vocalist Mike Olender (ex-Burnt By The Sun, For The Love Of…, Endeavor), bassist Brett Bamberger (Revocation, Publicist UK), and Dave Witte (Municipal Waste, Publicist UK, ex-Burnt By The Sun), is over people using others misfortune for their gain, so they wrote a kickass song about it.

According to the band in an interview with Revolver, its new song "#Victim" is about corruption and the drama-addicted victims of today's society.

"This song was inspired by some individuals who latch on to the misfortune of others and try to claim it as their own; vicarious victims who are so addicted to drama and self-loathing that they gravitate towards any tragedy and make it a part of their identity, hence the hashtag. This first-world problem is the height of privilege and it speaks to a larger problem of intentional victimhood in American society, where too often we pre-empt problems that are not ours with solutions we don't need; solutions which are rooted in a corrupt health care system more committed to profitable treatments than good health or personal growth."

River Black will be releasing its self-titled debut album on July 7 via Season Of Mist, and you can pre-order the album here.
