Don Broco issue promo for new track Everybody
Don Broco have released a video for their new track Everybody.
It comes ahead of their UK tour later this month, which will see the band play their albums Priorities and Automatic in full on consecutive nights.
Don Broco frontman Rob Damiani says of the track: “It sounds like Don Broco, but at the same time I don’t think it sounds like anything we’ve ever done before.
“It’s got elements from Automatic in, it’s got elements from Priorities in and it’s also got a lot of new ideas. It’s just an out and out banger.”
