Don Broco have released their new single “Uber“, taken from the forthcoming new album “Amazing Things”, which will be released on the 17th September via Sharptone Records.
“Uber” is a huge neon-fuelled anthem brimming with biting guitars, dream-like synths, and irresistible stirring vocals. The track is lyrically informed by their time in America, the result of and a reaction to a number of shocking situations that the band found themselves in.
“This was the first song we started writing for the album a few years ago touring the States”, says the band. “Within the space of a week three separate ‘Uber’ drivers were openly racist in front of us, I guess assuming as white guys we’d share their views. ‘Uber’ is about being angry about that, being angry that racists seem to be growing in confidence to speak their hate in public and it’s a reminder to me to call out that discrimination whenever I see it”.
The new single follows the release of the captivating and immersive single “One True Prince“, a luscious musical journey accompanied by a beautifully expansive video that promotes the uplifting and reaffirming message that hard times don’t last forever. They also recently released the ferocious album opener “Gumshield“, which explores the pitfalls of social media, specifically the damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don’t nature of taking a position on issues online. The video is another spectacular, with Damiani stepping into the boxing ring against UK British Heavyweight champion Dave ‘White Rhino’ Allen.
The album’s first single “Manchester Super Reds No.1 Fan” also came with an out-of-this-world video, featuring the band in a “Star Trek” spoof like no other. Whilst nominally appearing to be about a particular football team, the song isn’t actually about love for the club, but the darker side of fandom.
Always unique, and forever pushing boundaries, Don Broco are never ones to follow the trend and the new album “Amazing Things” is very aptly named. It’s yet another genre-bending masterpiece with electro, rock, pop, metal, and more all wrapped up in their own unique blend, bringing to mind the likes of Deftones, Beastie Boys, and Linkin Park amongst others… but simultaneously sounding like nobody else on earth.
“Amazing Things” is the band’s fourth album, and follows the release of 2018’s “Technology”, which was was a Top 5 album in the UK charts and has had over 100 million streams to date, and also 2015’s “Automatic”, which provided the band with their first Top 10 album in the UK.
