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 songwriting 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.

In August 2003, The Waiting hit the stage after a hiatus in Snellville, Georgia where they played a sold out show. This would be their last concert. The Waiting officially broke up in late 2003 due to its members seeking to further their own endeavors.

Brad Olsen resides in Salt Lake City, Utah and is leading worship

Todd Olsen resides in Atlanta, Georgia working as a music producer.

Clark Leake received a Masters in Theology from St. Vladimir Orthodox Seminary in May, 2007.

Brandon Thompson previously maintained the band's official website at http://www.thewaiting.org. Although the site has not been updated since 2003 when the band broke up, the site is still up and active, for the most part. Thompson resides in the Atlanta, Georgia area with his wife and two sons and has produced a couple of bands on the side as well as taking a job at Mount Paran North Church of God in Marietta GA, at which he remained until mid-2006. Brandon now holds a position as the Technical Director for [http://www.hishandschurch.com His Hands Church] in Woodstock GA.
