Synopsis
The video presents Bleeding Kansas in a stripped-down performance setting, with the band playing the song on a stage rather than following a separate narrative. Its visual identity comes from the treatment of that performance material in post-production, turning a straightforward band shoot into an energetic document of the group's hardcore attack. The result feels immediate and DIY: the performance is the subject, while editing and image treatment supply the extra movement and attitude.
Factoids & Trivia
- The footage was shot in 2008 at Art Center.
- The video was the first music video made by filmmaker Moses Venegas.
- Venegas originally had a different concept in mind, but the budget for it did not arrive in time. Since the stage had already been reserved, he filmed the band and developed the final approach during post-production.
- Venegas already knew guitarist Daniel, which helped establish the personal connection behind the otherwise improvised production.
- Parker Tolifson handled cinematography, while Derek Villareal served as assistant director and Cullen Metcalf-Kelly worked as gaffer and grip.
- The song appears on Bleeding Kansas' 2006 album "Dead Under Decor," released through Abacus Recordings.
- Online listings use slightly different punctuation and censorship for the title, including "This Song; Will, F--k You!" and "This Song, Will, Fuck You."
