Endless roads, late nights, dodgy motels, sweaty fans, big airports, cold beers, cheap eats and running through a field or two; some music videos make you want to quit your day job, join a band and go on tour. This is one of them.

Shot by their mate Andy Johnson over three months while on tour in Europe and North America, The Smith Street Band’s video for Dont Fuck With Our Dreams is five-minute look into life on the road with the band; blood, sweat, smiles and all.

Keeping up the touring pace the band will be kicking off on a 15-date Australian tour this month before returing to Europe in April for a 34-date tour alongside Philadelphia’s Restorations and a spot on Belgium’s huge Groezrock Festival.

The Smith Street Band play with The Mezingers in Sydney at The Lair, Metro Theatre on Saturday March 29.
