The video, which was created by Olya & Vira Ishchuk (known as "The Mad Twins"), loosely celebrates the life of front man Mike Ness.


Ness had the following to say about the video, "Working with Olya & Vira Ishchuk (known as "The Mad Twins") was a great experience. I mean, to not give any direction whatsoever and have an incredible video delivered to you speaks volumes. Olya & Vira created this animated piece on their own time as a gift to us, and they nailed it – we didn't change a thing. Being able to capture the true essence of the song without our input shows The Mad Twins' artistry, and how talented they truly are. When I was writing "Gimme the Sweet and Lowdown," the idea behind it was a lifestyle gone wrong due to making really bad life decisions. I never intended for it to be autobiographical, but now with this visual, I realize that it actually is more about me than it seemed when I wrote it."
