Earlier this month, Wild Cub‘s video for "Drive" experienced a very quiet premiere over on Spin‘s website, but the majority of us officially took notice of the video today, when the band posted a link to the video on their Facebook page.
The video’s credits read "Made by Fort Ripper," meaning the talented, Portland-based duo, Marc and Karina Ripper, had a lot to do with bringing this video to life. "Drive" captures a love story shot in Portland, Oregon and along Cannon Beach, the same beach that sculpted nearly all of my childhood (pre-Nashville) summers. This black and white love vignette makes me want to go back next summer just to create sexier, more-romantic memories there.
Special shout-out to the actors in the video for walking through the ocean so nonchalantly and braving hypothermia, by the way– that water never gets warmer than "iceberg cold." —Brianne Turner
