Forever The Optimist release video, announce tour dates

Brisbane four-piece Forever The Optimist have premiered a new music video, with the band equally announcing tour dates for June.

‘End of Antics’ is lifted from recently released album, ‘Arecibo' and was shot by renowned local filmmaker "RCStills". Described as, “a powerful, dynamic and fitting filmclip to match one of the most memorable and hard-hitting tracks on the record,” the video can be viewed below.

In support of the release, the band will take in seven shows on a tour run, which spans the east coast as well as South Australia.

Tickets will go on sale for the Arecibo tour on Friday 16th May and can be purchased for all shows at http://www.forevertheoptimist.com.au.
