The Armed tear up a house party in their “Modern Vanity” video

The Armed have shared another new video from their latest album, Perfect Saviors, which was released last month. The latest clip is for “Modern Vanity,” which was shot at a house party they held in Detroit just before the band embarked on their summer tour with Queens of the Stone Age. Directed by Christopher ‘Zoz’ Gruse, the clip shows the band tearing up a live performance at the DIY house show with lots of sweat and mayhem. And the marketing for it is, of course, absurd; the title of the video on YouTube is “Was This the HOTTEST House Party EVER?!” and gives the impression of being a YouTube reaction video of some kind (note the exploding head emoji). Watch it below.
