Following the release of their critically acclaimed and long-awaited fifth album Hug Of Thunder, Broken Social Scene have today released the mesmerizing video for single “Skyline.” Directed by Kevin Drew, the video follows Brendan and Dimitri Karakostas on their quest for momentary survival, through peanut butter, mouth guards, friendship, skateboarding and Foreigner. “Skyline” has driven attention towards Hug Of Thunder, the most played album on U.S. non-comm radio in the last month, holding the #1 spot for a month straight on NACC Top 200 – the longest #1 run of 2017.
Following a triumphant European tour that saw the band play London’s Brixton Academy and Primavera Festival in Barcelona before culminating with a headline set at Field Trip in Toronto, Broken Social Scene prepare to hit the road again, this time in North America. The much-anticipated American tour takes in DC, Chicago, LA, Seattle, Portland and more. A full rundown of dates can be found below.
