Today, Free Energy debuted a rad new video for “Bang Pop” at MySpace (which for the uninformed was a place many of us used to go until all the glittery, self-created pages and spam comments got to be too much for our liking). The video was directed by Josh Nussbaum (Disney, MTV’s “Made”) and produced by Ben Nabors, and shot in a middle school just outside of the band’s homebase of Philadelphia.

Produced by DFA’s James Murphy, Free Energy’s debut album, Stuck On Nothing, is out now on Astralwerks/DFA Records.

Check out the video and more info “after the jump”
