Mississauga rock-trio MAYBE MAY premiere their new music video for "Better" via Spill Magazine in support of Suicide Prevention Day. The song was inspired by the tragic event of losing a friend to suicide. Watch it: https://bit.ly/2VyTXJw “Every day we are effecting lives through the words we speak & the actions we choose. You never know how you’re truly impacting someone, whether it be positively or negatively. This is why it’s important that we always strive to be better versions of ourselves with each passing day”, says Demetrius Nath (vocals & guitar).

Supported by a Mississauga Arts Council grant, the video was brought to life by The Cut Cartel (Finger 11, Our Lady Peace, USS) amidst pandemic restrictions while the band worked with mastering extraordinaire Noah Mintz (Billy Talent, DFA1979) for the first time. The song itself was produced and engineered by Juno Award-winning Kevin Dietz (The Glorious Sons, Alexisonfire) and was recorded at Toronto's famed Union Sound Company and Missisauga's internationally renowned Metalworks Studios. 

Earlier this year, the band won “Established Music Group” at the Mississauga Arts Awards and released the pop-rock track "Survive Satellite". The track was added to CBC Rock Canada and featured on X 92.9, X 100.3, CJAI 92.1, 94.9 The Rock, 96.9 Radio Humber, & 98.3 CIFM. It also saw features at Buzz Music, The Music Bugle, Drop The Spotlight, Tinnist, That Chick Krys, FYI Music News and the music video premiered via 102.1 The Edge. Previously, Spill Magazine had this to say about "Survive Satellite": "The message is pretty simple, life punches us all in the face sometimes but you have to get up, brush it off, ride out the storm and realize that you're better than just letting it get the best of you. The fun use of the puppets and the positive clips in the video help lighten the whole mood of the song even more. You can't help but sing along as if sending the message to yourself, and self-encouragement can be such a powerful thing."
