The Virgins out of NYC have a hip sound where they combine The Strokes with disco and a little bit of funk. So expect jangly riffs, danceable rhythms and a vocalist who sounds like he’s got more important things to do. Throw in lyrics about the kind of people you see in TV shows like Gossip Girl and cocain brunches and you know just how wrong this could be.
Could. Because The Virgins’ self-titled release is actually quite okay. Nothing too earthshattering (which is next to impossible in this genre if you ask me) but tracks like “Rich Girls”, “Murder” and “Hey Hey Girl” even have me tapping my feet.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
