Paramore have unveiled a music video for ‘Thick Skull’ and spoken more about their future as a band.The video was directed by Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates, who also directed the video for ‘This Is Why’, and the storyline continues that video’s narrative.

This time around, she’s being transported somewhere in the back of a van and the journey ends in disaster.‘Thick Skull’ is the final track to appear on the band’s sixth album ‘This Is Why‘, which was released last year.

In a five-star review of the LP, NME shared: “Paramore are reaching to where, finally, their music has wanted to get to for the best part of the past decade.

Rather than try to top their peerless anthems, the band have instead uncovered a new warmth on ‘This Is Why’, and the effect is triumphant indeed.”Check out the video below:In addition, frontwoman Hayley Williams wrote a lengthy statement about what’s coming next for the band, possibly referring to the imagery in the video by saying that Paramore have “crashed the van”.“I can’t remember a time I didn’t want to be in a band,” she began. “I knew not joining forces with similarly crazed people might mean I’d never be brave enough to create things and even if I did, I may never risk sharing them.
