Paste Magazine Premieres Music Video for "Television Is Better Than Love!"
Paste Magazine
Austin-based singer-songwriter and producer David Messier has released the music video for his latest single, “Television is Better Than Love,” premiering exclusively at Paste.
Serving as the lead single from Messier’s sophomore album Time Bomb, the track is full of cheesy, TV-influenced puns juxtaposed with the harsh realities of modern dating (in a world where “Netflix and chill” is considered, by some, the epitome of romance). This, along with its catchy, generally carefree rhythm, creates a quirky and infectious track—served well by its equally entertaining video, directed by Teresa Jolie.

David Messier - Interivew
"Messier is a hurricane force of music that he humbly self-describes as 'just rock n’ roll'."
"With a sound that blends americana, rock and folk that bring up similarities of Tom Petty, Messier is a hurricane force of music that he humbly self-describes as 'just rock n’ roll'. Bringing together keyboard parts, trumpet playing, and sonically charged guitar grooves that intertwine effortlessly with his lyrics, Messier masters multiple sounds and moods, from deep, intimate ballads, to switching and rocking your face off.” -
- Andrew Conroy, KUTX
“He’s a musician’s musician..."
