English rockers Vincent Vincent and the Villains have just released their debut album Gospel Bombs, an enchanting collection of intriguing rock tunes with some shades of blues and some 1920s backdoor dealings. If you like Razorlight or the Rumble Strips (a former member of VVV left to start the Rumble Strips), then this is right up your alley. Trippy rock-pop tunes, even-toned vocals, and hints of reggae make Gospel Bombs a wonderful, enjoyable LP. Lead singer and guitarist Vincent Vincent has a uniquely pleasing voice, which gels quite well with the accessible riffs that back him.

“End of the Night” is a pounding magical anthem that sounds like the child of The National and The Rosebuds. “Killing Time” and “Pretty Girl” are relaxing, joyous tracks that drip with optimism, while the intricate rhythms of “Blue Boy” and “On My Own” makes this album better and better upon each listen.

So go and grab a copy of Gospel Bombs.

Listen to “On My Own” (4.9/5)

Listen to “End of the Night” (4.7/5)
