Canadian punk/rock band Like Pacific has partnered up with popular LGBTQ publication Out Magazine to debut the video for their newest single, “Self Defeated.” The song is featured on the group’s 2nd album, In Spite Of Me, which is out this Friday, July 27th via Pure Noise Records.

Since their beginning, Like Pacific’s vocalist Jordan Black, who identifies as queer, has become a prominent voice for the LGBTQ community in the pop-punk scene and beyond, and promotes activism and equality through his music and actions.
“In a very straight dominated scene, it’s unbelievably cool to have a voice and be able to put my thoughts out there in the world. Like Pacific has some of the most accepting fans and amazing queer fan base.” – Jordan Black
Like Pacific lets loose in the music video for their latest single “Self Defeated” and the result is both hilarious and endearing. Commenting on the video shoot, Black says, “filming for this video was actually wild. We changed our minds last minute and decided to try and make it goofy. We’ve always been so serious so we decided why not. Even though the song isn’t on the goofy side, it’s a pop banger. So I figured why not have some damn fun.”
Like Pacific’s sophomore album, In Spite Of Me, features 10 tracks that showcase their best writing to date and further establish them as one of the best punk/rock bands to come out in years. The record also features their previously released single “Had It Coming,” “Sedatives” and “In Spite Of Me” video which made its debut earlier this year.
