The video for the band's song 'Fool's Gold' is a cathartic art piece frontman Greg Marquis says is “about how it's been such a challenge to stay in this city, to stay active as musicians in this city, and the question lingers over your head of should I move?”

It was also Mee's idea to revive one of Marquis' previous video concepts that would feature song lyrics spelled out on venue marquees. To make that happen, he made some phone calls. “I thought people would be like, 'That's not going to work. We can't put your lyrics up there.'" Grieco, who is 34 years old, said making ends meet as a musician has been a never-ending hustle. He moved here in 2006 to attend Berklee College of Music. Marquis, 32, left Connecticut in 2009 because he wanted to be part of Boston's music scene. Every year they wonder why they've tried to build a life in a city where rent eats up approximately 50% of their monthly income. The video plumbs that question's essence and tension, too.
Actor Observer's video also embeds the Boston Calling footage inside their actual homes, including in their bedrooms. Grieco has rented an apartment in an Allston two-family for 8 years. He and his bandmates feel lucky because their recording studio and rehearsal spaces are in the basement. “Rent increases every year,” Grieco added, “but the house enables us to stay.
