The Woodie Awards this year are going to be awesome! I just checked out the nominations for the Breaking Woodie Award and I was really pumped to see Walk The Moon was nominated. They actually just released a music video for Anna Sun a couple of days ago. The video is pretty cool, if you haven't seen it yet you need to go check it out! http://www.vevo.com/watch/walk-the-moon/anna-sun/USRV81100083
