When ‘Got On My Skateboard’ dropped in February, we said that “just like blowing the dust out of a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater cartridge, Skegss’ new single evokes memories of your glistening, carefree youth.” Well, Skegss have further turned up the nostalgia with the visuals, which consists of camcorder videos of Skegss members during their childhoods, spliced in between beautiful footage of Aaron Gocs skateboarding through Melbourne and drinking chocolate milk in slow motion. It’s poetic, cinematic, moving and so much more:

Along with the video, Skegss have announced a national tour which will see them hit most major Australian cities this June. If the boys’ recent shows with Dune Rats are anything to go by, then this should be absolutely mental. We hear that Aaron Girgis will also be bringing the banter to each and every date, so buckle up your seatbelts for a big one.
