Cold War Kids “Behave Yourself” EP Trailer (Video)

Can more bands put together a teaser for upcoming records? What a lovely little package put together to pique our curiosity and transfer visual impressions. A cynic would say the new record must be a complete waste to go through the hassle of making a trailer, but I think it’s a prime way to get the message out there… now I must have me a listen.
