Watch: Palma Violets Unleash "Rattlesnake Highway" Music Video

British indie rock quartet Palma Violets have unleashed the video for "Rattlesnake Highway", another cut taken from their debut album '180', released back in March via Rough Trade Records. 

As well as the clips for "We Found Love" and "Step Up For The Cool Cats", this one was also directed by former-member-of-The-Jesus-And-Mary-Chain-turned-filmaker, Douglas Hart, and offers a taste of the band's raucous live show using unique fan-shot footage that's intercut with some outrageous archival footage of Pentecostal snake handlers.

"Most of the footage was taken by the fans at Palma Violets shows," drummer Will Doyle told Rolling Stone. "We wanted to do a video for them, every single one of them who'd been there dancing, screaming, contributing to the cacophony and chaos. Hopefully they will get some of that from the vid and join us on the Rattlesnake Rodeo Tour."
