THE VIBRANTS certainly live up to their name with this single - whacking us full pelt with a fist full of colourful, rich and energetic chaos. It's hard to believe that they are currently still unsigned, but perhaps this is only a matter of time.
The opening track, 'Bullets' (no folks, not a Doppelganger of the Editors hit single) is a great song to drive very fast to. Giving the listener a frenetic sense of urgency that makes your legs twitch. But don't worry, it's not 'Restless Leg Syndrome', you probably just need to go dancing.
Fair enough, The Vibrants aren't massively different from anything else on the circuit, but they are definitely a lot more cheerful, and they really hammer on the Hammonds (which never fail to up the aunty). With high octane guitars, whirling keyboards, urgent vocals, and more hooks n riffs than a fisherman's tackle box, its difficult to see how this band can fall into obscurity.

So roll on their well deserved Fifteen Minutes - although I'm sure they'll probably stick around a little longer...
