Video: Clare And The Reasons "All The Wine"

Clare And The Reasons recently released a new video for "All The Wine," a tune which I feel has a nice Beatles-esque vibe to it. Check it out below, along with a lovely session with Athens Soundies, where the band performed "Wake Up (You Sleepy Head)" and an amazing cover of the Genesis tune, "That's All." The new release, Arrow, is out now via Frog Stand.
