Pitchfork

Built to Spill have finally found something as epic as their guitar solos: knights in shining armor! Well, the armor isn't exactly shining (it's definitely been around the block), but the gear sported by the band members and their buddies in the clip for "Conventional Wisdom", from the band's latest album, You in Reverse, will definitely protect them from attacks by sword-bearing rival indie rock bands.

Directed by Shafei & Levitz and featuring American Jousting Alliance founder and director James Zoppe, the "Conventional Wisdom" clip will inspire you to defend your honor and fight to the death for the love of a fair-haired maiden. Watch it HERE
