Is there a better music video plot device for a great pop-punk track than little kids going crazy at a birthday party? If there is one, I haven't seen it. In the clip for Jay Reatard's "It Ain't Gonna Save Me," a bunch of ankle-biters wreak chaos on a birthday party by launching water balloon air raids, tying up adults and riding small horses into battle. It's like Braveheart with a swimming pool and a dude that looks like the clowns from Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
Jay Reatard's Watch Me Fall is due out on Aug. 18 via Matador.
