Released on October 6, ahead of their album set for release next month, the track is accompanied by an upbeat video featuring judges, Disney-like characters, and &#8220;Barbie&#8221; having lunch with &#8220;Ken&#8221;, the latter of whom is wearing a gimp mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With upbeat rockabilly drum rhythms, that are catchy enough by themselves, &#8216;We Will Dare&#8217; gets along at a rollicking pace, and, in the words of the band themselves,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The Dwarves have been getting cancelled since the 1980\u2019s, so we wrote a 90\u2019s pop punk song about it and made a video starring a female singer born in the 2000\u2019s and a snowboarder from Jackass who\u2019s on strike in 2023.
