Vocalist Nick Brooks explains, "This world is our home, and it seems like we're going out of our way to destroy it. We've only got one shot on this planet and we need to stop taking it for granted. 'Vanguard' is a track that means a lot to us for this exact reason. If something isn't done soon there will be nothing left, we need to be the change to preserve the world for generations to come."
Drummer Daryl Pryor adds, "World issues aside, shooting 'Vanguard' was a whole lot of fun. All the rubbish that you see in the video was sourced from recycling plants and garbage bins, it was kind of gross sorting through it but we felt it definitely played a part in the meaning behind the video."
