|Reading Rainbow - "Dead End" Video

There's not a whole lot to the video for "Dead End," an infernally catchy garage-pop nugget from Reading Rainbow. The whole thing consists of super-crappy surveillance-style footage of the Philly band playing a song in a room, while someone projects state-fair-midway lights on them. That's it. But for a song as simple and homespun as this one, that's really all you need. Those harmonies kill me. Taryn Jones directs. Watch it and download the MP3 below.
