EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Violens - Fields Of Rape (Death In June Cover)
The next time you are buying too-short shorts at American Apparel and hear Shuggie Otis on the PA, thank Viva Radio. The Brooklyn-based internet radio outpost–broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week–is the official in-store music network for AA, piping carefully selected and crushingly deep playlists into speakers around the world. Among their many programs is Me + You, an intimate interview/performance show where rising artists stop by to wax with host Ted Shumaker and play some songs in a stripped-down setting (MGMT, Andrew W.K., and The Teenagers are all previous guests). Promising Brooklyn indie band Violens recently swung by the M+Y space, where they recorded this acoustic Death In June cover. We're hosting the MP3 exclusively below, but head to the Me + You page for the rest of the session. And stay tuned for more M+Y + RCRD LBL collabos; we're thinking of calling ourselves 2ManyConsonants.
