The Vivian Girls have had a fast rise to fame and can seem to do no wrong; praised by lastfm, even pitchfork gave their self-titled album a rare 8.5 out of 10, declaring their songs "kick ass".
Hailing from Brooklyn, the band are an indie post-punk group who produce music that sounds strongly influenced by both grunge and messy lo-fi retro pop. Think a hazy, dreamy Bikini Kill making like the Beach Boys and you won't be far off.
