Cor blimey.. Onto The Virgins with their 'One Week Of Danger' 7" that's about as dangerous as going paddling with a life jacket and flippers on. It's not an abomination or anything.. Don't get me wrong like. Phil is reminded of The Dandy Warhols. Fairly average indie pop/ rock on Young & Lost Club. It's quite polished with a catchy chorus but probably not catchy/ polished enough to be massive on the radio or anything. Oh it's on yellow vinyl. Quite like the sleeve though.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

New Yorkers The Virgins are set to release ‘One Week Of Danger’ on December 1 through Young and Lost Club. The single is taken from their eponymous debut album which will be out in March.  The band have been confirmed as support act to The Pigeon Detectives on their upcoming UK tour which kicks off on November 24 and runs through to December 9, they are also set to perform at Push at the LA2 on December 6.

The Virgins have been busy storming the US live scene in recent months, sharing stages with the likes of Cold War Kids, Tapes ‘n Tapes and The Long Blondes, and also wrapped up a mammoth 36-date ‘Nylon Magazine Music Tour’ in June. They wowed audiences in the UK whilst touring with Band Of Horses in July, and also delivered a suitably explosive set to a sold-out crowd at Madame JoJo’s legendary White Heat club night.

The band are already at the epicentre of a flurry of ecstatic press accolades across the Atlantic - including a rapturous 4* Rolling Stone review, Alternative Press naming them as one of the ‘100 Bands You Need To Know’, and Spin magazine’s declaration that “The Virgins have had the kind of out-of-thin ether rise that causes bloggers to gush and their peers to curse”.  As Vice magazine put it - “We’re jealous of their future, basically”.

The Virgins exemplify the sound and style of downtown New York City in 2008.  They came together in 2006, the brainchild of songwriter/performer Donald Cumming.  Having lived on NYC’s streets since the age of 16, Cumming’s teen years were chronicled by artist/photographer Ryan McGinley in his now legendary debut solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art.  With Cumming joined by bassist Nick Zarin-Ackerman, guitarist Wade Oates, and drummer Erik Ratensperger, The Virgins began playing at downtown parties and their third show ever saw them take Paris by storm, performing at designer agnès b’s fashion week party alongside Patti Smith and Sonic Youth.
