The Chalets. I honestly don’t know much about this band… not much at all. Except they’re out of Ireland, they’re better than U2 and they have a great pop sound.

Like the Go-Gos, The Chalets formed before ever picking up instruments. Their songs are built around loud guitars and a juxtaposition of male and female vocals. I don’t know… it reminds me of Bis, S Club 7, Electrocute, Ladytron… and Sid Vicious. Yeah the Sex Pistols are somehow working their way in there. It’s bizarre. It shouldn’t all work. But it does.

Take a listen: The Chalets – “Sexy Mistake”

And if nothing else… be sure to check out their music video for “Feel The Machine.” It’s directed by D.A.D.D.Y. I love this video… but that could just be that I’m such a huge nerd.

You can buy it all here.
