Viet Cong – “Continental Shelf”

Viet Cong hails from Calgary, and features ex-members of Women. They wrote their debut LP during a 50 date tour with all four members traveling in one car, and it sounds that way. The first single “Continental Shelf” is a combination of tight-knit and tightly-wound. It’s intense and claustrophobic and builds in unexpected and exhilarating ways. I can’t wait to hear the rest.

The band is hitting the road again this winter – mostly in Europe, with a few North American dates in the November:
