The official music video for "Destruction" was released on the band's YouTube channel on January 13, 2016. It was directed by Philip Andelman and produced by Aviv Russ and Joywave.[2] The video follows the band as they hold auditions for a new member, eventually finding an MP3 player as the right choice.
