Why would I want to listen to music by spineless pussies
>>65640581
a lot of /mu/ are going to hate it solely because they changed their name
I quite liked the single, even if it's weaker than most of the debut
Shit band, and the members are Andrew Jackson Jihad level pussies. Also fuck off Montie.
Changing their name is the worst possible career move they could do, because now everyone's just going to just call them cucks for the rest of their career
>>65640581
TFW too preoccupied to lisren

>special edition is clear
clear vinyl is a downgrade from black
>>65640581
Nice advertising, faggot.

They've gone from being a This Heat ripoff to being a Mission of Burma ripoff. I like it.
Should I start scrobbling Viet Cong s/t as Viet Cong by Preoccupations? I'm not sure how exactly that works.
It's not a bad song, but I just cannot take their angst seriously now. In my head they're cucked wimps who couldn't stand their ground against some bitchy college kids. That's not what I want in my post-punk.
>>65640581
That is the worst name they could ever choose. Haha wow
>>65641856
>muh post-"""punk"""
I like the cover
I'm too preoccupied with other music to listen to this.
The entire reason they changed the name is because they didn't want it to get in the way of their music. They stated before that in their opinion the name has always been an afterthought. They didn't change it because they were afraid of people getting offended, they changed it because they wanted to get their music out there without protest. Creativity>ego of self worth
>these niggers actually changed their name from Viet Cong to fucking Preoccupations
Viet Cong is a fucking killer band name, phonetically pleasing like Joy Division or Death Grips. Then they fucked it up.

people who care more about image than music
names are arbitrary and dumb. if it affects the way you listen to music you are arbitrary and dumb.

>names are arbitrary and dumb
You're 100% right. Why listen to a band named Death Grips when I can listen to one named Two Lanky Whites Dudes and an Angry Black Man
>>65642172
i wouldnt mind checking that band out
>>65642172
>he doesn't get it
>>65642172
Two Lanky Whites Dudes and an Angry Black Man is a better name than Death Grips tbhfam
yeah its kinda disappointing. slow and boring, and the press release makes it sound like the whole album's like that. oh goody. first minute isn't even song which annoyed me, that's fine for the start of the album but if its also the lead single ?? they should have thought that through a little more. the vocals suck. i thought the national's singer was buuuh, but this tops that by a good margin. that synth line in the instrumental chorus is dumb as well. like a 5 or 6/10. my hopes weren't high to begin with, and if this did anything it lowered them.

bad example

Why would i want to read a post by montie?
I want the debut album on a tee shirt but cant find one anywhere
>>65642488
they were selling them when i saw them on tour last year. dunno about now. they've probably burnt them to avoid 'offensiveness'. id contact jagjaguwar or viet cong about it through email if i were u
Preoccupations, the new album by Viet Cong

i dont understand this. sure i was pissed when they decided to change their name too, but short of being banned from half the music festivals and gigs they want to do by forces beyond their control, what choice did they have.
im not sold on this single, its bland af
still keen for the album though, their debut was one of the best from last year
>"""punk""" band
>change their name to conform to societys standards
>>65644923
more like conforming to their desire to get money and not be banned from half the places they play at
>>65640581
i really like march of progress are there bands that sound like that? tribal synth industrial with punk flavor?
