THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA RELEASE VIDEO/NEW SINGLE “WATCHTOWER”


The Devil Wears Prada have shared the video for the brand new song “Watchtower.” The song embodies everything Revolver recently said about the band: “The Devil Wears Prada have proven time and time again that it’s possible to never stop sonically experimenting… and never lose their own crushing identity.”
