Spotlight is on Don Broco and their new single / video for Technology

July 25, 2017

We are bringing our spotlight on the UK band Don Broco. They recently released their new single and video for the track Technology. The video is an awesome one as it is a great commentary for today’s social media addictive society. Can someone be so absorbed with their smartphone that they miss an entire alien invasion? Speaking about the video, frontman Rob Damiani says, “We’re all addicted to our phones, so for the video we thought it would be fun to see if an alien invasion was enough for us to put the phones down for a minute… turns out it’s not. The song is about a casual swipe through Instagram that ended up in me unfollowing a load of mates. In reality my friends are not vain, self-obsessed, PDA-loving show-offs so I’m blaming social media and the habitual nature of sharing every waking moment of your life online.” Fans will be able to immerse themselves in the ‘Technology’ experience with the interactive release of Technology – The Video Game through donbroco.com and the IOS and Android [Read More]
