Fresh Band: Late of the Pier

Late Of The Pier - Heartbeat from Benoit Tersiguel on Vimeo.


I can't pimp these guys enough. I feel like everybody should check them out. Late of the Pier is in my opinion a better version of MGMT mixed with Killers. What makes these guys so cool is the fact that they cover so many styles of music on their album Fantasy Black Channel. There really isn't a bad track on this album. Some standout tracks are "Focker" "Broken" and "Bathroom Gurgle". These guys are so young and have an awesome future. They are already big in Europe so now they need to hit the big time in the US. I saw these guys twice at SXSW and both shows were amazing. The second show ended with the singer punching a bodyguard and being thrown down the stairs for playing over their time slot. The band finished up anyway in true rock and roll fashion. Check the video for "Heartbeat" above.
