Cornershop

Another old viddy. Several months back I did a post on the infectious song Girls and Boys In Love by The Rumble Strips. Turns out, the Rumble Strips are a splinter group formed by a former member of the band Vincent Vincent and the Villains, Charlie Waller. They are also the second act I'm aware of (Lily Allen being the first) to mention Tesco's in song. Who oh who will do it again? I'll bring you the latest on this trend. Not really.

Anthem Magazine is naming Vincent Vincent and the Villains a "Band to Watch" in their latest music special issue:

They've been teasing us with theatrical low-budget music videos and rockabilly tunes for over four years and finally have an album- a "Best hits" of sorts titled Gospel Bombs...Charlie Waller left to form the Rumble Strips... (Vincent Vincent) are to rockabilly what Vampire Weekend is to Afrobeat guitar-pop. Imagine the Troggs as a rocksteady band revamped to play alongside experimental pop outfits like Mystery Jets.
