RVG - "Squid"

Photo by Izzie Austin

Hailing from Melbourne, RVG have released a post punk song that isn't quite like what modern post punk typically sounds like. "Squid" is much more like a standard rock song than you would normally associate with the genre, and while many other Australian bands reach back to the 1990's, RVG go back further to the 1980's. "Squid" sound more like bands like Echo & The Bunnymen, The Cult, or Midnight Oil. There is even a little bit of Throwing Muses in the guitar. This is a wonderfully hypnotic song that is going to be nearly impossible to resist.

You can listen to "Squid" below. Brain Worms is due out June 2 on Fire Records. The album can be pre-ordered here. For more on RVG, check out the band's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the song.
