Vatican DC - Fountainhead (Jolly Roger / Red Flag)
4/5
This emphatic post-punk-rock band is exactly what the kids need at the moment. In 'Fountainhead', gritty, biting and punky vocals cover edgy guitar and pushy, jolly percussion with a punchy kick that seduces the listener into feeling arrogant and feisty, all whilst fierce bass lines and barking vocals maintain a level of pleasurable permissiveness that isn't hard on the ear like other angry rock acts such as Gallows or The Bronx, but a swinging, raunchy and sexual groove you can actually dance to.
'Fountainhead' is self assured, ballsy even, but by no means self important - a good choice of single, and proof that VDC are more than worthy of those Rakes / Bloc Party support slots.
