Vivian Girls
Brooklyn's beloved all-girl garage band is easy on the eyes (a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead take your pick!) Even better, their purposefully scrappy music is delightful to the ears. The Vivian Girls style is a throwback to the sixties and seventies; their songs utilize breezy vocals and heavy distortion, much like their influences the Wipers and the Shangri-Las. Admittedly, the trios newest album Share the Joy is far from groundbreaking, and its debut single I Heard You Say sounds exactly like everything else theyve done in the past. But why mess with a successful formula? When you come across a group as winsome as these girls, risk taking just seems reckless and overrated. With No Joy, Unnatural Helpers, Witch Gardens.
