VHS or BETA
What can be said about VHS or Beta? This Dance/Pop/Rock band from my hometown
of Louisville, Ky. has changed the rock world with
it's new brand of dance/rock. When they released their first full length album "Night on Fire," I was blown away with the continuous hooks that seamlessly melted off each track. The title track "Night on Fire" has to be one of the catchiest songs I've heard in along time, but the hook on the track "Alive" is one to be reckoned with. This song has an ambient feel, but builds throughout the entire song into a mind blowing masterpiece. The bands newest album, released this past August called "Bring on the Comets", is definitely leaning toward the dance area of their sound, but does not disappoint at all. VHS of BETA has matured their sound into a very complex array of sounds with the new record. The song "Can't believe a single word" gets catchier every time I hear it.
The melody seems like a classic pop song, with a new wave dance feel. The most defining song on the new album is the title track "Bring on the Comets." This song brings out so many emotions. It almost has a ballad feel, till it it bursts through with pulsing guitars into the bridge. I highly recommend VHS or BETA to anyone who enjoys good quality, fun music.
