"We Used To Wait"

Meanwhile, with their new album The Drums due out next week on Downtown, the band has also released a video clip for their song "Down By The Water." You can view it, below. Produced by Brian and Brad Palmer of SURROUND and The Drums, the video is described by the band thusly: "Both the video and song are a tribute to the girl groups of the 50's and 60's, a great inspiration to the band and one of the reasons we started it."
