"We Bring an Arsenal" is the second single fromWeapons, the fifth studio album by Welsh rock bandLostprophets, released 4 June 2012.[1]
The band wrote "We Bring an Arsenal" a few years before the release.[2] GuitaristMike Lewis said the following to Purple Revolver on 8 May 2012.[1]
"'We Bring An Arsenal' is about us as a band, our gang mentality. We've always had that, even before we formed Lostprophets. When we were just mates growing up,we had that us vs. them, underdog mentality. That song is about that – whatever you throw at us we'll come back with more."
The video for "We Bring an Arsenal" was released on 21 May 2012.[3]The video features the band leading a group of what looks like a riot through a city, just like guitarist Mike Lewis has described, "us vs. them, underdog mentality".[1] The band members are singing along to the song, while leading through.
