Until then, &#8216;Big Beautiful Day&#8217; will have to satisfy fans as a preview for what to expect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video shows the alternative duo playing guitar in a hallway, eating waffles, and singing to a room full of young people &#8211; just like them &#8211; covered in face paint and glitter. The video is a declaration to meet hate by just being yourself. Hopkins says, &#8220;my advice is to look incredible as you make their lives regrettable by being your damn self.&#8221; The end of the video sees him biting into an apple and licking his lips, with the final cut back to the party&#8217;s aftermath.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about PWR BTTM from their official website, where you can also get details of their tour.
