Premise

The video was created following a constant two-year tour for Passive Me, Aggressive You. Thom Powers, guitarist and vocalist for the ensemble, stated that because large outdoor performances and television concerts often end up on the internet, the best thing to do was to record their own live album and provide it to fans to show gratitude, stating that One Temporary Escape is likely the best presentation of the band's live performance.^[2]
