Broadside have released their new single, “Cruel”, featuring Brian Butcher of The Home Team via SharpTone Records. The upbeat track underscores the deeply emotional lyrics that tackle what it feels like to face your fears when it feels like the world is trying to bring you down. The track also arrives alongside a music video directed by Sam Link. Watch the clip, which finds the band pulling off a hotel heist, now below.
“This song is about facing your fears,” shares vocalist Ollie Baxxter. “For years, I’ve allowed my dreams to slip out of my hands from things I can’t control. ‘Cruel’ as a song, is about hitting the nail on the head, allowing yourself to be washed out in the headlights of oncoming traffic. If you’ve got something to lose, this world is cruel, or it can be. So hold on tight.”
The band is currently gearing up to head out on tour with The Home Team and Honey Revenge, with tour dates kicking off on March 25th in Salt Lake City, UT at The Beehive. All tour dates can be found now below – tickets are available HERE.
