I am officially on board with Viet Cong, unfortunate name notwithstanding. Joy Division comparisons are there, but there's a sinister edge to the proceedings, and an artistry that makes me shrug off the pretension as an asset rather than a curse, and some dark psychedelia as well.

these guys are good at playing rock music (or at least they were as Women - caught a really good set from them in the Public Strain era) but vv bad at picking names, they should let someone else come up with the next one

'Ruff-Puffs' would be a good band name
I stand by this

it's good, same sound/vibe but much less developed songwriting.
