Bad Religion released their latest effort, True North, last month and they’ve finally made the video for the title track available. The video features a boy in his room, which is adorned with posters of punk legends like Youth of Today, Circle Jerks, T.S.O.L., Dead Kennedys, Descendents, and more. In a way, the video reminds me of a video from The Replacements, “Bastards of Young.”
I like the video for “True North” and what it’s trying to do, as guitarist and songwriter Brett Gurewitz offers,
“True North in many ways is Bad Religion getting back to where we’re from. The video tries to capture what that looked like for us and a thousand other kids; maybe even some kids today.”
What I don’t like is the “punk” kid looks like a mall punk and also a bit too much like Justin Beiber. But, I can’t fault the video for that.
Bad Religion will be heading out on tour to perform in support of their new album True North starting this March.
