Music video

A music video was directed by Marc Webb and filmed at a warehouse in Los Angeles in May 2003.

It features the band performing in front of a moshing crowd, executing hardcore dancing style punch-and-kick moves. The band members are shown preparing for the show as well, applying athletic tape and straight edge-culture gloves on their hands. Havok drops the mic and walks off stage at the end of the video.
