Races began as Wade Ryff’s attempt at putting his solo material out there, but as the group added members, changed band names (from Black Jesus) and picked up steam – leading to their signing with Frenchkiss Records – it’s hard to imagine their music was originally planned for a one-man band. Ryff, Garth Herberg, Oliver Hild, Devon Lee, Breanna Wood and Lucas Ventura have stood behind the success for their first bold single “Big Broom”  together, and their journey, whether celebratory or treacherous, is illustrated well by director Edward Chase Masterson in the song’s music video. Glitter, confetti, balloons all make for a pretty party, but it also makes a mess in the end and they’ll need something to sweep it up. Races’ debut “Year of the Witch” will be out March 27.
