Broken Generation by Of Mice & Men
Broken Generation talks about the current generations obsession with technology and simply calls it the "broken generation" hence the name of the song.
Drummer Valentino Arteaga calls the video "a wake-up call" when Billboard talked to him about it. He adds, "The video is a metaphor for the current state of the Internet/technology-obsessed generation. As technology advances, life is lived out through LED screens instead of looking at the beauty in the world around us. This generation needs to begin taking action and ‘unplug’ instead of mindlessly entering data into computers."
The song caught the attention of multiple fans with frontman Austin Carliles' "clean vocals" throughout the song and the lyrics calling for their fans to "fix this broken generation."
Shortly after the video was released, Carlile announced a US headlining tour on his Twitter. They will be joined by Crown The Empire and Volumes and will hit multiple cities and festivals throughout the states.
The boys are currently in Australia for Soundwave and will do a hand full of UK shows before returning for the tour. Restoring Force: Full Circle comes out on Feb. 23 in the UK, Feb. 24 for all you US resistants and Feb. 27 for everyone else.
