Mr. Bella 1

Tampa hard rockers Mr. Bella have released a music video for their brand new single “Don’t Tell Me No”. The song is off the band’s currently untitled sophomore album. The clip was directed by Mr. Bella guitarist Scott Vallina and Corey Gresham of Two By Seven Productions. Bassist Amir DaBiri states of the clip:

“As a band, we discussed not trying to come across as for or against religion, but more about living free of the ‘cult mentality’. We relayed that to Scott and Corey, and they achieved that in a video that tells a cool story in a dark and creepy way, but isn’t about taking sides. It’s about being free to live your life the way you want to.”

Vallina adds:

“Much of the imagery stems from the idea of signing your life away to a cult of any kind, whether it be a satanic cult, as it was believed witches in Salem had literally signed a book, or the people of Jonestown who signed their lives away and joined a cult resulting in their suicides.”

The song was produced by Brett Hestla (Tantric, Framing Hanley) and is available for purchase now on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play.
