SOUNDTRACK: The Virgins Are Having The Best Week Ever!
Abstract
(ED NOTE:"Soundtrack" will be a new recurring feature in which we tell you more about the music heard in each episode of Best Week Ever.)
"One Week of Danger" by The Virgins is in this week’s show and Christian Finnegan is here to tell you why you should love them as much as he does!
The bad news about The Virgins is, they sound like a bunch of other bands. The good news is, all of those bands are pretty great. It’s one half Strokes (yeah, I know), one half young Elvis Costello and one half “Missing You” era Stones. Yes, I’m aware that we have a surplus of halves here, but I think these kids deserve the bonus. Great vocals, tight arrangements and some kick-arse bass playing. But it’s the Virgins’ general vibe, more so than any one specific tune, that’s so durn appealing. These dudes sound like they’re creating music for an early Eighties sex comedy that never existed. Midway through ‘One Week of Danger’, you can almost envision a blond teenage girl with a poofy new wave hairdo running through a kegger in her underwear, boobs bouncing majestically in super slo-mo. I can’t think of a bigger compliment one could give a young band of musicians. This is party music for sexy people and sex music for party people.
The self titled album by The Virgins is available now.
