[edit] Video
The video for Rushes was shot in Los Angeles and is about adrenalin rushes.[2]
Darius arrives at his home on a motorbike. He then goes up to his apartment and arranges to meet his band members for a gig later that day.
He gets ready for the gig and then goes out to meet his band members by his car. The band members shown in the video were Darius' band members at that time, namely, Karl Brazil, Deeral, and Greg Haley.
They travel to the gig, speeding through a tunnel, but are then held up by traffic, eventually coming to a standstill. To get to the gig on time they decide to get out of their car and walk the rest of the way.
The band and Darius then perform the gig in front of an audience.
