I was listening to Sirius Satellite radio the other day and heard a band named Glasvegas for the 1st time. They’re from the UK (Glasgow, Scotland) and have a really great sound. To me it’s like 80′s music (the good stuff) meets the band Interpol which now has a singer with a Scottish accent. Awesome stuff…
They basically have 2 albums. “Glasvegas” and “A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like a Kiss)“. The 2nd album was released along with their self-titled one as a bonus disc of sorts. Not only are the songs great the albums really flow nicely from one song to the next. It’s the kind of album that is best heard from start to finish.
I would have to say their most popular song (and one of my favorites) is “Geraldine”. I also really like “Please Come Back Home” so I’ve attached that one below as a preview. Check it out…
