Mod Sun reveals his “Battle Scars” on huge new single

Mod Sun has been through everything you can imagine. From playing in bands to reinventing himself, he certainly has some stories. Now he’s finally dropped the long awaited single “Battle Scars”. A deep look into the singer’s life tells the tale of someone destructive who has made it back through the other side of it all. You can see MOD SUN live on tour this fall with blackbear and Palaye Royale.

Debuted this morning on PAPER, Mod explains the inspiring track: “I’ve been building up to this song for over two years. I made it at a turning point in my life when I felt I needed to change everything…the way I was living and the people surrounding me. I felt really bad about myself at the time and was stuck in a routine of toxicity. I got together with an amazing group of people that helped me tell the story. It’s about having the strength to wake up and make yourself proud, but you can’t do that until you look your demons in the eye. Sometimes you just have to leave everything behind and start all over again. I was dealing with addiction for a decade. I was in relationships that I knew were destroying who I really was. I was slowly dying everyday and I had to break the cycle. I know how many people deal with this everyday so my only hope is that this song can give people the courage to move on. I’m releasing this song now because I really feel like I’m on the other side of it, I went to war with myself and came out on top. I’m so proud of where I am today and this song really helped me get there.”
