Joshua Roberts (Magnolia Park) Releases Music Video For New Single, "Father"

Coinciding with the release of his debut solo EP, Joshua Roberts - vocalist of pop-punk outfit Magnolia Park - has unveiled the music video for his new single “Father”. The track opens the EP, Good For You, which is available now via Epitaph Records. The video for “Father” was directed by Evan Draper.

In a press release announcing the new video, Roberts stated the following about the meaning behind the song:

“I wrote "Father” for those who are going through similar situations. I hope this song gets to them in a positive way.” 

On the EP as a whole, he continued:

“It was a different process because I had to be more of a nuisance with my voice because of the style prerequisites,” he muses. “I believe that it definitely shows the distinction of what I do with the band versus what I do with my solo work.” 

“What inspired me to create this EP honestly is the motivation to always push myself. I felt like at the time of my artistry I wasn’t fulfilling my roots by creating something that I grew up listening to. So this EP is something born of nostalgia but it’s also something that meets uncertainty and different sides of myself that I haven’t truly expressed yet.” 

The eight-track Good For You EP was co-written and produced with Magnolia Park member Vince Ernst, and you can check it out now. You can view the video for “Father” in its entirety below.
