The Lawrence Arms share their new video for “Seventeener (17th and 37th)”. Watch the band’s comical attempt at Hollywood fame as they experiment with several genre variations, from 80s hair metal through to a clowning up as a trio of face-painted Juggalos in a search for the band’s identity.

“Seventeener (17th and 37th)” is a track from the band’s new album Metropole, out January 24 on Epitaph.

Metropole is the Chicago band’s sixth studio album and their inaugural Epitaph release for Brendan Kelly (vocals/bass), Chris McCaughan (vocals/guitar), and Neil Hennessey (drums). After an eight year break, the album was recorded at Chicago’s Atlas Studios with co-producer Matt Allison who has also worked with punk-scene veterans Alkaline Trio.

The Lawrence Arms have never had any agenda apart from just having fun and making good music, and according to Kelly “if we didn’t have that, then we’d just rather not make a record, ‘cause fuck it.”
