“No one cares who you are anymore,” Dustin Diamond’s agent tells him on the phone in the opening to a new music video from D.C. quartet Deleted Scenes. Yes, that’s right: The band got Screech to star in their music video, which first debuted on NPR. But apart from the impressive casting and glossy production of the video, the single, “Stutter”—which is off their forthcoming LP, Lithium Burns—is a spastic, angular mediation on anxiety and the world crumbling around you. Abrasive, sporadic riffs mesh with lead singer Dan Scheuerman’s coyly stuttered lyrics. Toying with a barrage of effects, the vocals sound like something out of a funhouse of vocal melodies.

In the video, a down-and-out Diamond—playing a parody of himself— is beaten up after his car breaks down, blows an audition, and then finds himself rescuing an unconscious girl floating in a pool at a party. Just because you were on Saved by the Bell doesn’t mean a lifetime of fame and fortune. Life is cruel.
