New Music Video:

Our Apartment Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties

The video premiered exclusively on Billboard.com where frontman Dan “Soupy” Campbell spoke about the concept of the video itself. He says, “"In writing the concept for this, I found myself really engaged by music videos where a band plays to a hostile audience…I love the idea that it functions primarily as a performance video but that it has a storyline element as well…I thought about what the perfect hostile audience for Aaron West would be.”

What do you guys think of the video?
