The Waiting is a Christian pop rock band, consisting of Brad Olsen (vocals, guitar), Todd Olsen (guitar, vocals), Clark Leake (bass), and Brandon Thompson (drums, percussion). Since the members focus more time on other aspects of their lives and like to take their time recording, the band does not produce and perform as frequently as most other bands.

Early albums by "The Waiting" were guitar driven alternative rock that drew fans with clever songwritting and introspective lyrics that stood out from most Christian rock of the day. The band's later albums moved towards a more polished pop sound and suffered less enthusiastic reviews for it.

Brandon Thompson previously maintained the band's official website at http://www.thewaiting.org. The site does not appear to have been updated since 2003. It is unclear at this time if the band is still together.
