Editor's review
Sounding like a British outpost of DFA, London's Vek furthers post-post-punk's best invention: the fusing of '80s dance rock with hard-house beats. Helpfully for Vek, this hybrid trick remains so compelling that he doesn't need to stray from the Rapture mold to come across as an innovator.
Biography
24 year-old Londoner Tom Vek is a multi-instrumentalist, an incisive lyricist, a musician at home with equally raw, but wildly differing aesthetics. His debut album WE HAVE SOUND buzzes with a raw garage rock energy, driven a long by subtle electronic touches and a backbone of rigid, angular funk.
Tom has gathered a band around him to take to the stage. The live performances provide energetic portrayals of the recorded music.
