The new music video for “Excuses” by Rose Cora Perry & The Truth Untold is more than just a breakup anthem—it’s a full-on statement. Directed by Perry herself and Emanuel Benyamin, the video is bold, stylish, and filled with symbolism, making it a must-watch for fans of real rock and raw emotion.
At its heart, “Excuses” is about calling out the nonsense. It’s inspired by Perry’s own experience parting ways with a former musical partner, and she’s not pulling any punches. The lyrics are honest, direct, and demanding—urging accountability and responsibility not just in relationships, but in all aspects of life. It’s got that same fearless energy you’d expect from an Alanis Morissette or Carly Simon classic, but with a fresh, punk-rock edge.
Visually, the video doesn’t just support the message—it amplifies it. It switches between tight, high-energy performance shots and a moody, cinematic detective subplot. The return of Perry’s alter ego, Kathryn Gunn, adds a clever twist, as we see her literally and symbolically set fire to the past. It’s the kind of imagery that sticks with you: not just because it’s dramatic, but because it feels earned.
The performance scenes are powerful. Perry commands the screen with a voice that’s both sensual and strong—somewhere between Amy Lee’s emotion and a darker-toned Kate Bush. Backed by bassist Jessie Taynton and drummer Steve Skrtich, the band is tight, confident, and in sync. There are no extra tricks or flashy distractions—just solid, passionate rock music.
The 90s-inspired alt-rock sound paired with an upbeat punk rhythm gives the song a timeless vibe. The guitars punch through, the drums stay locked in, and Perry’s voice anchors it all. The band knows how to leave space in the mix—letting the story breathe without losing any power.
In the end, “Excuses” isn’t just a song or a music video—it’s a declaration. Rose Cora Perry & The Truth Untold aren’t here to play it safe. They’re here to be loud, honest, and unapologetically themselves. If you’ve ever felt burned, betrayed, or just plain tired of excuses, this one’s for you.
Watch Excuses. Turn it up. And don’t look back.
