## Music Video

The music video for "FOOD BAR" was released on January 20, 2017. It stars David Cullen as ZAKK.

### Synopsis

A nerdy, young man named ZAKK decides to exercise after staring at a TWRP tour poster. ZAKK's exercises in his crowded 1970's-styled basement room are presented in a montage. Partway through the montage, ZAKK runs upstairs to a kitchen and proceeds to make a workout shake using a variety of eclectic foods included carrots, spinach, a chocolate donut, and raw eggs. He opens a drawer and takes a titular FOOD BAR back downstairs and resumes his exercises. Pushed to the brink of exhaustion, ZAKK considers eating the FOOD BAR, but instead chooses to continue exercising. After a montage of weight lifting, ZAKK undergoes a transformation, complete with a leather jacket and aviator sunglasses. He displays his newfound strength by breaking a few vinyl records and dancing. The video ends with ZAKK tearing his shirt off and realizing that he is still in his basement.
