“Pendejo” stands as a Spanish profanity used to call someone an idiot, but these locals are the furthest thing from the definition. “Citizen” spews soul and wit, setting a deep stake with a pride so pure. Pendejo.’s (including members of People Like You) new video for the song stays true to the genuineness of its content, capturing the raw enthusiasm of the band’s house shows. The power of “I am no criminal, I’m a school teacher, man / My record’s untainted, police officer man” is chill inducing.
Check out the Elle DioGuardi-directed video for “Citizen” below and stay tuned for the next live opportunity to belt that infectious chorus on Pendejo.’s Bandcamp.
