Coheed and Cambria head back to high school in their “You Got Spirit, Kid” video. The clip, an homage to ‘80s teen movies, is viewable now via The Nerdist (http://nerdist.com/premiere-coheed-and-cambria-have-rad-times-in-their-video-for-you-got-spirit-kid).
“Our video for ‘You Got Spirit, Kid’ gave us a chance to showcase a relaxed side of the band’s personality,” said Coheed and Cambria front man Claudio Sanchez. “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 clip, 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.
Digital pre-orders for The Color Before The Sun (Oct. 16, 300 Entertainment), which include an instant download of “You Got Spirit, Kid,” are available tomorrow via iTunes (http://flyt.it/TheColorBeforeTheSun), Amazon Music and GooglePlay.
