One Week Of Danger

The Virgins

Young And Lost Club

WE SAY

New York band The Virgins' debut single 'One Week Of Danger' is released through the Young And Lost Club label before Atlantic release their album early next year. It's neat, likeable radio rock with a danceable edge. Early US reviews include this agreeable statement from Rolling Stone: "The Virgins have a knack for songcraft.. scrabbling funk verses that surge into singalong rock choruses". Having previously supported Band of Horses in the UK in July, they start a run of dates with a London gig tonight before joining Black Kids on tour in the US. JF London gig: September 9, Dublin Castle NW1, September 12 The Monarch NW1
