The Pop Corporation

A lot of punk has a hardcore or pop punk bent at the moment – makes sense given the early Noughties are officially retro and the kids are looking to the past for comfort. Well, it’s nice to see some other genres bleeding into the scene.

We look to VIAL, who have put a single out which has some of that ’70s Glam stomp, mixed with some gothy grunginess, which is fun!

They hail from Minneapolis for what it’s worth, and they have this new song called ‘Idle Hands’, which features the band in witchy pomp, which is very fun indeed. Maybe we should have posted this on Halloween? Ah well.

Press play on this. Very catchy. Very accessible and a real good time.
