Still my favorite song from Preoccupations

[@smolbeanregarder]

That synthesizer at 0:36 is so Love Will Tear Us Apart

[@Fonchezzzz]

There's so much to be excited about this year for new bands. Viet Cong are high on my radar. Shit's looking auspicious!

[@jbliv831]

Best song of the year! Hands down.

[@ikesau]

I am definitely going to actually buy this album.

[@HornPilot]

Damn, you can already tell the album is going to be amazing.

New Music from Viet Cong

[@roblewis1598]

Ooo

[@TildeSymbol]

What is the story behind the band's name? It's Vietnamese and I'm curious.

[@dhanosuzuki]

Viet Cong is what we called the Vietnamese we were fighting during the Vietnam War? Maybe that's what it is referring to?

[@TildeSymbol]

dhanosuzuki I'm Vietnamese and I know its meaning. But what I'd like to know about is how and why they choose that name.

[@etcadambrown]

Henry Lưu It's pretty bloody off-putting! I love this song, but did a double take when I saw it. They're white guys from Calgary (my birthplace). They released this statement about it in which they suggest they're idiots: Our band, Viet Cong, has existed for a little over three years now. When we named ourselves, we were naive about the history of a war in a country we knew very little about. We now better understand the weight behind the words Viet Cong. While we don't take any concerns about the name lightly, we feel it is important to let you know that we never meant to trivialize the atrocities or violence that occurred on both sides of the Vietnam War. We never intended for our name to be provocative or hurtful. We truly appreciate the seriousness of the feedback we've received, and we will continue to be open to listening to issues and concerns from all perspectives. With love from the band Viet Cong. CONCLUSION: we'll check our email, but we ain't going to change it, no matter how many shows get cancelled or Vietnamese people email us and suggest that they're families were terrorized by the Viet Cong, and that our name is insensitive. As if they weren't JOY DIVISIONY (lots of Nazi imagery/references) already. JD, I'll admit though weren't fascists and used the name more ironically or to be political. VC gives not impression that they thought it out. I'd respect the name more if they were actually communists. aviewfromtheannex.blogspot.ca/2010/04/no-joy-division-was-not-into-fascism.html

[@TildeSymbol]

Adam Brown Oh wow, thanks man. That's a lot of information. Personally, I don't feel offended by the name or anything, just curious why they chose the name. A name is just a name, anyway. If they don't act or do anything stupid on it, I'll fine with that.

[@pauserepeat787]

+Henry Lưu They changed it! :(

[@tigheclaire6873]

Nice- sounds a bit like bloc party!

[@awjfdsahgds.sdnvicsd2802]

Offficial Audio

[@Present2502]

Offfical, more than official

[@javiervs2827]

I am dissapointed that the rest of the album does not contatin the same power as this song :'(

[@jamiekat]

+Javier VS then you havent heard the rest of the album

[@plagueratofdoom7762]

+Jekk great reply.

[@javiervs2827]

Unfortunately I actually heard it a couple of times, what a waste of time, the only useful outcome I had is the money I saved when I decided not to buy it...

[@joshiewashe9486]

Lo fi rock version of The band Interpol.

[@ultrahero2115]

They sound pretty different to me. Both post-punky but in different ways. These guys have better guitarists.

[@johnlv7060]

dislike!
