Exclusive: View promo for first single from debut album Outside The Box – due in March

Hacktivist have released a video for their track Buszy and confirmed their debut album will be out in March.

The Milton Keynes five-piece will release Outside The Box on March 4 via UNFD. Buszy is the first single to be taken from the record.

On the track, co-vocalist Ben Marvin says: “This song is about partying, tour life and dedication to our H team – living the life we want and not letting anything get in our way.

“Buszy in Milton Keynes is a place we’ve all grown up with. They used to put club nights on there and there’s also a skatepark. It also was used for community projects, but unfortunately it is being shut down by the council in another example of profit over people.

“We did the best we could to keep it going but our voices were unheard. We decided to name our song after it and get a video shoot booked in before it got shut down, so I want people to take away from it the fact that no matter what, you gotta do what you love and you gotta fight for what you believe in. No matter what or who is against you.”

Hacktivist have also added shows to their planned European touring schedule.
