Burned bridges, broken promises, bruised hearts. We\u2019ve all been there, and the three brothers of Essex County<\/a> \u2014 Nate, Kieran and Mark Bass \u2014 are no exception. <\/p>\n

Take a look at their dramatic new video for \u201cSo Good,\u201d where a bitter breakup unfolds amid the beautiful backdrop of downtown Nashville, Then read our exclusive interview with the British band below the player.<\/p>\n

What do you remember most about the shoot for this video?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This video shoot came together in two days. Our manager Rob Beckham had the concept and we called around and found actors to participate and a venue willing to host. The day of the shoot was sunny and everyone showed up on time. We watched the news of Kobe Bryant\u2019s helicopter crash on televisions in the bar between takes. We struggled to make the sound system work in the bar and felt like we had completed a marathon when it sprang to life. <\/p>\n

It was the Sunday of the Grammy Awards and we talked about how Essex County could be at the Grammy Awards someday and what we would wear and say when we got there. We shot the car scenes after the sun went down and had to position team members at the gate to keep people from walking into the shots. Then everyone walked to Chuy\u2019s for dinner.<\/p>\n

How does the video bring your song to life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The song is about a guy who is his own worst enemy. His choices make him miserable, but he doesn\u2019t realize it until it\u2019s too late. The video is a depiction of that.<\/p>\n

What message do you hope your fans take away from the video?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all done things we regret. And we\u2019ve all been hurt by people who make selfish choices. Country music\u2019s strength is that it is a uniter \u2014 it builds a connection between artists and fans. We hope when people see this video \u2014 whether they are the person whose actions regrettably hurt someone they love or if they are the broken-hearted \u2014 they realize they aren\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n

How did it feel to see the finished product for the first time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were nervous making this video. It came together so quickly that there was no time for professional wardrobe, hair and make-up. The band did their own hair and wore clothes from their suitcases. The actors ended up being friends who just stepped up to help. <\/p>\n

When we saw the video, there was so much pride that our team had been able to pull the pieces together to allow David Colon to make this sparkling but gritty mini-movie that showcases the band live sound and brings Essex County\u2019s debut single to life.<\/p>\n
