Toronto Indie Folk Act Ten Kills The Pack Share New Music Video For Emotional Single “Honestly, Fuck You”

The tour life can be bittersweet for most musicians; the excitement of being on the road and interacting with fans from different corners of the world can have a life-giving effect on their careers, but in that same breath, the loneliness and instability of touring bring its on problems.

Toronto indie folk outfit Ten Kills the Pack, lead by singer-songwriter Sean Sroka, break into the brutal honesty of the experience on the new single & video “Honestly, Fuck You”. The powerfully candid message serves as an ode to touring musicians and the mental conflicts that arise from life on the road.

Elaborating on the song Sroka adds: “The song is a swirling accumulation of situations and feelings from the road that rolled through my head when I started writing while driving home one night. Within the weight of these moments that needed to be laughed at or faced, the song’s point of gravity is a personal story of a relationship ending thousands of miles from home while trying to get through a deteriorating stomach lining issue from alcohol and anxiety. When I say this all out loud it definitely sounds a bit dark, but this song really is just a long winded and funny way of saying ‘thank you’ to those friends who get you through it, when it truly feels like you can’t.”

The accompanying visual projects his thoughts and emotions onto the windshield of a car in a dark parking lot, mirroring the song’s message through pathetic fallacy. Watch below:
