Soundcloud Artist of the Week: Vasco Da Gama

Each week, I will be featuring an unsigned/independent artist that I discovered on Soundcloud. I will play a song from them during the new music hour at 8:30 on my show that week, and will write a bit more about them here.

Vasco Da Gama is a British band out of Liverpool who are named after the famous Portugese explorer. Their music is a powerful mix of math rock and pop hooks. They sound something like a more cheerful, less aggressive version of At the Drive-In, or if Minus the Bear ditched the electronics and turned up the volume. Below you can listen to their excellent single "Brigadiers" from their latest EP, Geography, as well as a couple of older songs.
