Top shelf Canadian post-punk annex art-rock
“Daverend debuut. Joy Divison en Shellac gaan in de clinch met Television.”
(Focus Knack)
They collect all the rave reviews of their debut as if it were no big deal. Canada's Viet Cong is the hottest thing happening on the indie scene at the moment, they emerged from the ashes of Woman and they clearly hit the bull's eye with their first shot. Their exciting live shows are certainly a contributing factor to that result. Pitchfork praised their debut in the category ‘Best New Music’ and their exciting post-punk pleasantly rubs up against art-rock.
After a whirlwind visit to AB in late ’14, as opener for Ought, now entirely on their own two feet. Hurry, see Viet Cong in a small hall, while you still can.
