VW's first CD was a breakthrough success and one of the best records of 2008. It excelled mostly in the shorter, catchy songs. Their second CD, Contra, is also very good, but is in ways, a mirror of it, as its strenghts are in the longer, mellower songs (Giving up the Gun, Diplomat's Son).
Now watch two vids by the guys, one on a song I'm sure you've heard, the other with a cameo by a bunch of famous ppl, including ROB MANNING!!!
next up: a band whose bassist was in a coma after a car accident
