Anybody over a certain age will remember whiling days away with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater – probably the second installment. Canadian punks Pkew Pkew Pkew certainly do, taking inspiration from the game and putting in into their new video for ‘Mid 20’s Skateboarder’ and new track, ‘Blood Clot’. The latter sees their skateboarding antics take a darker turn, the inevitable end to their beer fueled extreme sport adventure.
“This video is based on the real life events of our producer Jon Drew breaking his arm skateboarding with me in that very same pool,” singer and guitarist Mike Warne explains. “Also, Emmett dislocated his big toe while we were shooting the video, so we got to stop in at the emergency room again. Truth be told, the toe popped out while we were playing basketball, we decided to take a break because shooting was going so smoothly.”
“THPS 2 is the greatest video game of all time,” he adds. “I only ever played as Rodney Mullen, Chad Muska and Spider-Man, Auto-kick off.”
Pkew Pkew Pkew will be releasing their debut self-titled record on the 10th June 2016.
