Whatever happened to the wave of synth-rock bands? A few years ago, you couldn’t turn around with running into a wall of The Killers, The Bravery, etc. I guess that stuff became passe pretty quickly, which is too bad. I bring it up because I’ve been catching up on some of my favorite blogs and came across a post at Music Of the Moment with an absolutely fantastic new new wave track from Your Vegas, a strong entry in the genre which absolutely blew me away.
In My Head – Your Vegas
It’s all here: a firm, insistent beat, synths and guitars which are the oxygen and fuel, and a chorus line that sets off the spark that blows the whole world apart.
Their debut record is called A Town and Two Cities, and I know this sort of music is deadly to my indie cred, but God help me if it doesn’t sound great.
