Watch We Are The City's new video for "Happy New Year"

by Ciaran Thompson

We Are The City has released the first of six videos for songs off their forthcoming album High School, due out March 22. This video for the track “Happy New Year” features the Kelowna, B.C., band tying shirts over their heads to conceal their identities and smashing a few light bulbs.

Forming in 2008, High School will be the band’s sophomore release following In A Quiet World, released in 2009. Produced by Tom Dobrzanski (Said the Whale, Hey Ocean!), the new album “gave the band a chance to revisit their teenage years, laying bare some shameful memories from their past.”
