Music video

The video for "A Day in the Life of a Poolshark" was imagined by Daniel Anderson while sitting in a hotel room. The video features the two members of the band members arguing (over what is not known) in a back alley. The argument soon turns into a fight which is the basis of the video. The video was filmed in downtown Los Angeles, directed by Shafei & Levitz. Since its debut, the video has been featured on MTV2 Banned in the UK.
