MySpace Monday - 01.15.06


VietNam are equally loathed and loved.  They seem to be one of those bands that people really champion for or people go out of their way to let us know how much they hate them.  Personally I find myself leaning more towards the like then the hate.  The band is from New York, they have beards, look a little 60s hippie and are notorious for being "difficult."  But forget about all of that for a second and just listen to the music.  It's an irresistible blend of The Band, Dylan and Neil Young morphed with the indie aesthetics of this decade.  They recently opened for the Lemonheads on a US tour and their self-titled debut LP will be out January 23, 2007 on Kemado Records.

Youth Group are one of those bands that have had a record out for quite awhile but now it's finally seeing a US Release/re-release.  The record is titled Casino Twilight Dogs and will be available on Anti Records on January 30, 2007.  Hopefully the band will also get the push and buzz they deserve.  You might have heard of them from their cover of Alphaville's "Forever Young" that was all over the OC and Grey's Anatomy.  Well their originals are just as good in that epic kinda grandiose way.  I hear a lot of James, Teenage Fanclub and even some Echo and the Bunnymen in their sound, which means the songs are addicting and you'll have the melody in your head for days.  The band is originally from Sydney, Australia which is quickly becoming one of the better music scenes in the world.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah don't really need an introduction...at least I hope they don't.  This group of Brooklyn/Philly DIY rockers are set to release their eagerly anticipated sophomore LP titled Some Loud Thunder on January 30, 2007.  Check out their page for a rotating cast of tracks from the new record. I have really liked what I’ve heard so far and can't wait to get my grubby hands on the entire record.
