Why are they here?
Do you ever have one of those days when the first piece of news you hear sets you up for the rest of the day? Well today is one of those days for me! As I was casually browsing the 'net I came across some new VIDEO NASTIES tracks. This may seem like no major surprise but it was only a few weeks ago that their agent had told me they'd split up; they were one of my favourite, if not my outright favourite, small bands and I couldn't believe they were never going to fulfil their potential. But they're back with more gusto and fury than ever before...
VIDEO NASTIES have recently uploaded three tracks onto their myspace; two re-recordings in the form of 'Teenage Celebration' and 'Hearts and Bones', and a new single entitled 'Albatross'. All three are fiery rock tracks unlike anyone else around at the moment, they have managed to capture the epic rock sound of Definitely Maybe-era Oasis and infuse with an art-rock style similar to the likes of Franz Ferdinand and The Maccabees. This return may have happened at just the right time, giving them a few months to build up steam before making 2009 their own!
