Pierce the Veil Release 'King for a Day' Music Video

      Three weeks ago, California post-hardcore outfit Pierce the Veil released their third studio album, Collide with the Sky, to general acclaim. I posted a review of this new release about a month ago, praising the band for frontman Vic Fuentes' vastly improved vocals and the darker, more energetic direction the band took.
       That being said, the band released a new music video for the album's first single, 'King for a Day'. Featuring Sleeping with Sirens' Kellin Quinn, the song is Collide's strongest suite, and it's nice to see that the band has put its best foot forward. On the other hand, this is an incredibly goofy music video that has nothing to do with the subject matter. Don't get me wrong: that's totally fine. In fact, it makes it funnier. The premise of the music video is two disgruntled bankers (Fuentes and Quinn) who decide to stage a robbery to expose a fraudulent boss. Sounds exciting, right?
         Yet despite this strange idea, and the fact that the clip features a bit too much lady eye candy (namely the two vocalists in suits), the inherent silliness makes it fun to watch, even if it features hilariously bad acting, water guns, and pee jokes. Compared to the equally silly but cringe-inducing video the band has for 'Bulletproof Love', this new release is, much like the album, a vast improvement.
