Slam Dunk headliners Don Broco are back with the lead single of their just-announced album, Amazing Things, which is set for release 17 September on Sharptone Records. They have also announced a UK headline tour later this year.

Alongside ‘Manchester Super Reds No.1 Fan’, they have shared a wildly surreal Star Trek parody in which the band try to create their own team of players using Beckham DNA. It’s a wild ride. Musically, it’s perfectly heavy and anthemic, but not quite as football-themed as you might expect.

Here’s what lead singer Rob Damiani had to say about it:

“I wanted to write something about an aspect of social media culture I’d really noticed in the last year. Of people tearing other people down, with much of that destructive negativity coming from the supposed fans of bands and teams. In football, you get these ultra fans who go way beyond the point of criticism into cruel, unadulterated bullying.”

Amazing Things is out 17 September on Sharptone Records.
