"We Bring an Arsenal" was supposed to be the second single from Weapons, the fifth studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Lostprophets, planned to be released 4 June 2012. It has been released to rock radio since this date in the United States, but the single has yet to be officially released in the UK as of 5 June 2012, but will unlikely happen due to Ian Watkins's imprisonment in 2013. It was first played live on 25 February 2012 at Brisbane, Australia.
Guitarist Mike Lewis said the following to Purple Revolver on 8 May 2012.
The video for "We Bring an Arsenal" was released on 21 May 2012.
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". With the band members singing along to the song, while leading through. It is the first to feature skaters since "Rooftops", in 2006. Just like the previous video, "Bring 'Em Down", it does not show the band performing in the video.
The video was shot on 3 May 2012, in London. Lostprophets also offered fans to be in the video.
