    We Are PIGS Release Bold Animated Video For “Kids”

    We Are PIGS in collaboration with Brian “Head” Welch and JR Bareis (Korn, Love And Death) release the bold new animated video for the track “Kids” via Metal Hammer . Featuring each artist in caricature, the video – like the song – aims to bring attention to the challenges faced by today’s young generation and lets them know they are not alone.

    While it can be challenging growing up in current times, We Are PIGS, Brian “Head” Welch and JR Bareis want kids to know that there is always hope. As Welch told Metal Hammer about the new art piece “For youth today, the world can be a particularly dark place, filled with many temptations. But there is always help available if one reaches for it, as the red balloon symbolizes in the video.”

    The song was produced, engineered, co-written and co-sung by Esjay Jones, the mastermind behind We Are PIGS, and was originally inspired by the HBO show Euphoria and its raw portrayal of sex, drugs, identity, social media and the difficulties of navigating life as a teenager. Similar to the show, Jones, Welch  and  Bareis wanted the music video to be uncomfortable and thought provoking.

    Esjay Jones comments on “Kids”

     “I spoke to Brian about the concept – initially thinking the message was, the ‘kids AREN’T alright,’ but as we started working together, we wanted to spread positivity, hope and purpose to youth with our words, and ‘kids are alright’ became the mantra.”

    To further that message, part of the proceeds from the sale of “Kids” will be donated to organizations We Are Moving The Needle and The Whosoevers Movement aimed at uplifting, empowering and providing education and purpose for today’s youth.

    The Whosoevers Movement comments

    “Our generation today faces many more distractions and problems than ever before. Drug abuse, depression, broken families, self-harm and suicide are just a few of the issues they have to overcome.” We Are PIGS hopes to provide a beacon of light with “Kids” and encourages fans to check out and support these organizations as well.”
