Neon Trees Shares Mormon Roots with Fans in New Video

In a music video released yesterday, April 22, popular alternative rock band Neon Trees let their fans peek into their pasts--including to their Mormon roots. All four members have a Mormon background: Tyler Glenn (vocals, keyboard), Branden Campell (bass guitar, vocals), Chris Allen (guitar, vocals), and Elaine Bradley (drums, percussion, vocals). Elaine even recently appeared in an "I'm a Mormon" video put out by the Church. 

While we're not sure what all the symbolism in the song in about, here are a few great pictures from their past as featured in the video:
