Los Angeles, CA (August 22nd) \u2013 Post-punk powerhouse, The KVB, go beyond the pop veil of Siouxsie and the Banshees\u2019\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0Hot 100 hit, digging deep into the crevices of the experimental unknown with their dark, danceable, synth-drenched take on The Banshees\u2019s pop-crossover classic. The KVB bring this heady hit down to earth by combining heavily reverberant, lucid-dream layering with circuit-bent, Speak & Spell distortion to create a truly unique, neo-psychedelic, cold wave masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
