Here's the last installment of the Headlights Vibloggeo series. It's a beautiful video that compiles footage from the band on the road during the Wildlife tour.

The song used in the video is called "By Your Side" by Beachwood Sparks.

Flagpole just gave Headlights' latest album, Wildlife, a great review.
