The Refreshments - Down Together (Music Video)

Love this song and love this band! The only other version of this video that was on YouTube was super blurry. This one's at least a little better, long liv...

Sadly relegated to "one hit wonder" status thanks to the success of the single "Banditos" (give your ID card to the border guard, now your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard), I always thought this followup was the better song. One of my favorites on an album loaded with great songs.

Yeah, it's a great album. I wasn't as keen on their second album but this one is was filled with a lot of songs that deserved more attention.

If it's been a while, I'd strongly recommend you give The Bottle & Fresh Horses another try. I felt the same way, but then years later it really clicked for me. "Buy American" and "Una Soda" are the only really weak tracks for me and even those aren't bad. The first 4 or 5 songs are great and id argue that they do the "Down Together" chorus even better on "Fonder and Blonder."
