Single review: Vietwow! – If You Ever Leave/Hole In The Head
Vietwow! are what you would class a supergroup, consisting as they do of ex-members of Meet Me In St. Louis, Blakfish and Super Tennis as well as current members of Youves. Taking the DIY ethic to the extreme, my first thought on hearing ‘’If You Ever Leave Me’ was that the band were using homemade instruments, and having read the press release I wasn’t far out. Playing a toy drum kit and pretty much anything else they could get their hands on, and with plenty of bang and clatter, if I had to describe Vietwow! in one word it would be ‘cacophony’! That doesn’t mean it’s no good though, on the contrary, ‘If You Ever Leave Me Then I’ll Fucking Kill You’ is actually really good, there is a tune hidden in there and the lyrics, well you get the idea from the title! The flip side, ‘Hole In The Head’ is slightly more polished, only slightly mind, it’s still rough around the edges and just as much fun. 7/10
