Music video

The music video for Wax Ecstatic revolves around a roller derby girl (Angelina, or "Angel", per her nickname) and her aspirations to better her output in the sport. She purchases "Wax Ecstatic" pills (a gold colored gelatin tab), and starts taking them. Footage is shown of 1990's-era roller derby, along with footage of the band playing. To include lead singer Vinnie Dombroski promoting Wax Ecstatic as being the answer to all of her problems. Towards the end of the video Angelina is shown playing in a bout. She would get mixed up in a collision, and fall to the ground. The gold-colored goopy substance that comprised the Wax Ecstatic pills starts dripping from her mouth. Proving that they were not the answer she was looking for.
