Gumshield brings together elements of dance with rap-rock and arrives with a Do Not Entry-directed video that features frontman Rob Damiani in the ring with UK British Heavyweight champion Dave ‘White Rhino’ Allen. Damiani said:
“Excited to share our new song & video for ‘Gumshield’! After Tom’s fake wedding for the last album and the Beckham fan account hacking on our Instagram before ‘Manchester Super Reds’ we wanted to bow out on one final prank.
“After seeing all these YouTubers try their hand at boxing we thought it would be an interesting experiment to see if we could convince people I was deluded enough myself to fight a professional boxer. The song itself is about the anxiety that comes with posting online and the fear of resulting arguments so the divisive nature of my entrance to the sport personally hit all those triggers for me!
“Teaming up with Dave Allen on this was so much fun, hilarious guy and proper top bloke, though think I could definitely have him if we ever had a real fight ;)”
Allen added: “It has been a great experience working with the Don Broco team on the music video, a great bunch of lads who are very innovative and smart, Rob can’t actually fight though x.”
The track will feature on the band's new album, 'Amazing Things', out on September 17. The record will include the previously shared single Manchester Super Reds No.1 Fan.
Don Broco will headline Slam Dunk festival in September, following which they'll hit the road for a headline UK tour this autumn. Head below for dates and ticket details.
