Coliseum Have a Real-Life Brush with the Law in “Bad Will” Music Video

The execution of Coliseum’s new music video for “Bad Will” — in which the band stages in impromptu show on a store’s steps on a bustling downtown street — is absolutely perfect. I wonder if this video was filmed for real — as in, let’s do this as fast as possible before the cops come and shut it down — or if the band and video crew had the proper permits and the cops were in on the whole thing? I don’t wanna ruin the video for you, but the events that take place at the end would seem to indicate that this is, indeed, the real deal. And if so, holy shit, this is the very definition of suffering for your art! The video’s directors somehow nailed the timing of everything just right.

The song rules too. As do the two other songs we’ve heard from Coliseum’s new record Sister Faith, which comes out April 30 on Temporary Residence.
