Over the past few years, Los Angeles group Family of the Year have begun to earn some attention with their poppy tunes, and this has landed them a deal with Vancouver's Nettwerk Records. The label recently released the band's new EP, Diversity, and you can see a video for the title track now.

"Diversity" is a sprightly rock number that splits the difference between lush pastoral folk and sun-drenched power pop. As for the video, it shows the band performing on an extremely makeshift outdoor soundstage as a number of passers by come by and ransack the room, culminating in the band being stripped completely naked. Good thing they've got those instruments slung low.

Watch the clip below, and scroll past that to hear the entire four-song EP, which includes a remix of "Diversity." The album Loma Vista is due out July 10 on Nettwerk.
