[edit] Music video
The music video was released on October 8, 2007, and was made exclusive to Radio 1's DJ Zane Lowe.[8]
The video was filmed at Grey Court School and begins with the band going towards the basketball court, with a montage of images from the area, the band then set their musical instruments up, and play. As the video progresses more and more special effects are used showing luminous fire and purple cables. The video was directed and created by Bobby Harlow and Stitch That, who also created the videos for Liquid Lives and That Boy That Girl.[9]
The video is far darker than previous videos, matching the song's more 'Rock & Roll' sound. Hours after its Radio 1 debut the video leaked onto Youtube.
