I'm officially obsessed with Glasvegas

They sound like the long lost love children of The Shangri-Las and The Jesus and Mary Chain as produced by Phil Spector. Further aural D.N.A. analysis reveals genetic traces of The Killers, My Bloody Valentine, Arcade Fire, The Ramones, Joy Division, Julie Cruise, and Interpol for good measure. Here's how they describe themselves:

Bold & confident, under a ravishing, yet ominous air of noir – Glasvegas, a Scottish rock n roll four piece, unleash their sweet surf/punk melodies. Hanging out in Glasgow's notorious East End, the gang are all 50's style cool with flicks and turned up jeans. Waves of warm fuzzy distortion washed with tremolo guitar sounds, paint a monochrome for songs of cruel brutality, tragic abandonment and love-less love.

Now that's my kind of fun.
