There’s really no wrong way to incorporate skateboarding into a music video. You could probably throw some kickflips into a Celine Dion video and it’d still end up looking pretty sweet. Truly, skateboarding is the lettuce in the music video sandwich. But the sound coming out of The Lippies is probably what you most want to hear while watching some bowl-shredding footage. The Grand Rapids four-piece describe themselves as “feminist pop punk,” and are fast-paced with ridiculously catchy sing-along hooks. Watch their video for “As We Fall” below, a song about not ending up like your parents (even though you probably will).
“As We Fall” is off The Lippies’ debut full-length out soon from Red Scare Industries. You can pre-order it here. The band is also on some pretty sweet tours coming up. Dates below
