Fearless Records recently released the brand-new album “Nightmare Tripping” by British alternative rock group Don Broco, as per theprp. This fifth full-length album features a guest appearance by British metalcore faction Architects vocalist Sam Carter, in addition to an already-released collaboration with Nickelback. Tom Pullen and Tobias James co-directed the “True Believers” video for that pairing, which was just released online below.
We started writing this song back in 2024 during the Southport Riots. At the same time the Olympics were on, and flicking between them and the news was an alarming contrast between celebratory British patriotism and violent English nationalism. Over the last few years it’s been impossible to avoid the rise of the far-right across Europe and the United States, seeing politicians and people on the streets alike using the Nazi salute freely without consequence, and genocide apologist’s ideas embraced in the mainstream media. This song is about the brainwashing that’s led to this, to question what we’ve been brought up believing and the narratives that have been reinforced for generations.
As soon as the initial ideas were fleshed out I wanted Sam on this track. We’ve been fans of Architects for a long time and the energy and aggression he brings to his vocals are unmatched. As a human being of planet earth he’s used his talents again and again to stand up for what’s right so to collaborate on this song with him was very special. – Rob Damiani
Upcoming shows:
The band’s beginnings can be traced back to their secondary school years at Bedford Modern School, when they performed at their first shows. However, they didn’t decide to become a band until they were enrolled at Nottingham University. “Summer fall” and “Club Sex” were among the various titles the band first adopted. “Don Loco” was one of the group’s concepts; however, after guitarist Simon Delaney broke his wrist in a football accident, the song was renamed Don Broco. In November 2008, they embarked on their first tour in England, performing in cities including Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, Swindon, Watford, and County Durham.
