DON BROCO // Release ‘Technology’—The Single & Video Game?

UK rockers Don Broco have released a wild video for new single Technology, following it up with a mobile video game. Yes, really! Watch below.

The track premiered on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show. Frontman Rob Damiani says in a statement: “Technology 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.

“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. In the video game you get to fight off the alien army as each band member and I shoot microphones out my hands which is pretty awesome.”

If the video wasn’t enough, you can immerse yourself in Technology the video game, a side-scrolling platformer in the vein of Megaman or Commander Keen. It’s out now for iOS and Android on their website.

The game allows you to take control of band memers Rob Damiani (vocals), Matt Donnelly (drums), Simon Delaney (guitar) or Tom Doyle (bass) as they fight their way out of Alexandra Palace and into the streets of London while shooting invading aliens. A desire to kick ass and chew bubblegum was not confirmed at press time.

In no twist of fate, Don Broco will play their first headline show at the iconic Alexandra Palace on 11th November.
