Viva Machine - My Jet Set Radio

Made in Swansea, Viva Machine's debut single, 'My Jet Set Radio', is three and a half minutes of watered down post-hardcore with a few effervescent moments interpolated after the choruses for no good cause. Palatable and contagious, it's digestible pop-rock built from simple melodies and that old quiet/loud, calm/raucous forumla. Viva Machine like Weezer. They like Biffy Clyro. They even like Rival Schools. And it all shines through strongly on this single. [Neil Ferguson]
