Our favorite punk rock locals The Frantic debuted their new video for “We Were the Kids”, off their latest self titled E.P. This video, directed by Kyle Cogan (who was also responsible for the rambunctious house party that was the “Blackout Brigade” video), documents the fun had with friends on the last days of summer.
