The Strumbellas -- who recently won an iHeartRadio Music Award for Best New Rock/Alternative Rock Artist -- have shared the video for their new single "Young & Wild," the third single off their third studio album Hope.
The first single off the album, "Spirits," topped the Billboard Alternative Songs chart for two weeks, and hit No. 9 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. The band has performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and at the NHL Heritage Classic, and hit the road on an international tour.
The "Young & Wild" video showcases all of this success, mostly showing footage of the band on tour and at various festivals.
The Strumbellas tell iHeartRadio of their new music video: "2016 turned this band from Lindsay, Ontario, Canada’s world upside down. We really wanted to say thanks to the fans, so we put together some footage from Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and our fall tour including New York, Boston and Winnipeg and tied it altogether with shots from our last two shows of the year at home, here in Toronto. Thank you for the amazing adventure and for giving us a chance - see you soon!”
Back in the spring of 2016, during an exclusive interview, The Strumbellas told us of their single:
"'Young and Wild' started the farthest from where our older more country records went, and it was the pop-iest. It was the most party-fun song, so we were just really trying to capture this, fun, synth-pop vibe, and make it fit in with our style. And, it was maybe the song we had the most challenges with on the record. Really, we just had such high aspirations for the song and really trying to get it where we wanted, so we did a lot of different iterations of the song and worked hardest on that one in the studio. It's also the song that has the word 'hope' in it. That song was originally called 'Hope.'"
In 2017, the success continues as the Strumbellas have already won an iHeartRadio Music Award for Best New Rock/Alternative Rock Artist, and are up for Alternative Rock Artist of the Year. (Tune in March 5 on CTV Two.)
The Strumbellas are also scheduled to perform on the Juno Awards on April 2 on CTV. The band is up for three awards, including Group of the Year.
