Glasvegas

Usually I’m not one to post about “buzz bands”. Ya know, ones that are signed to huge, major labels and are getting the shit promoted out of them and people think they are simply doing well because of “word of mouth”. Yeah, those. With all of that in mind, I can’t help but love the new record by Glasvegas (Columbia Records). The 10 haunting tracks take me back to a time when I wasn’t alive but, but paints a strong enough picture where I can confidently tell people I was. Mix My Bloody Valentine, the Pogues and Buddy Holly and you find yourself escaping into Glasvegas’ sound. Oh and the drummer is a chick who plays standing up.

Check out the video for “Geraldine” after the jump.
