Earlier this month, we showed you some of the details on Coheed and Cambria’s new album The Color Before The Sun scheduled to be out October 9th. and we heard the first single off it called “You Got Spirit, Kid” in a lyric video form but now is time to look at a proper music video of the same song.
The video, which was directed by DJay Brawner (Refused, Grouplove), follows the band as they take down a group of school bullies through a series of pranks. The band’s frontman Claudio Sanchez elaborates about the clip:
“Our video for ‘You Got Spirit, Kid’ gave us a chance to showcase a relaxed side of the band’s personality, with our love for ‘80s nostalgia, we decided to approach the treatment in a John Hughes or Steven Spielberg type fashion, allowing the spirit of youth and camaraderie to shine in each frame.”
The band is finishing their European run and getting ready to hit American ground in company of Glassjaw, Cursive and Thank You Scientist as you can see on the dates listed below:
