PREMIERE: Life (And Death) is Just One Long Joyride in The Penske Files' New Video “Bedroom Angels”

Guns, fun, and alcohol aren't a good mix in the band's new video.

If you ask us, the afterlife is probably a sucky place where you’re forced to listen to Kidz Bop covers for eternity. Fortunately, Burlington, Ontario punk outfit The Penske File envision something entirely more optimistic for their new video “Bedroom Angels.” Well, kind of. Directed by James Maunder the video opens with the band members mysteriously bleeding out of their ears. Which by all intentions should be deeply troubling until things take a turns for the best as the band take a police cruiser out for a joyride and knock back a couple beers while getting into some gun-play over dice. Everything is going great until life gets dark and they get shot and probably die. On second thought maybe Kidz Bop isn't so bad.

"I wrote 'bedroom angels' on a dreary Sunday after an exciting Saturday night spent with a couple childhood buds,” says Guitarist/Vocalist Travis Miles. “We spent most of the night holed up in a student house bedroom sharing laughs and passing around a guitar. So, the song is about reaching a shared euphoria then coming back to reality while exploring the questions that come along with that wave of emotions. And I mean shooting the video was a blast. How many people can say they've done donuts in a cop car dressed as a shitty angel? Pretty neat-o.” Continued below…
