Leisureland

The band kick-off 2012 with their debut album Leisureland. This is heart-on-the-sleeve Indie rock'n'roll at its finest. The title of the album comes from the amusement arcade where guitarist and lead-singer Si Holden spent much of his formative years, and is more than a passing reference to what's happening to today's restless and disaffected. From the opening bars of garage-blues track Try To Be Brave to the closing hail of feedback on 3x Round The Sun, VFI deliver an unrepentant alternative to the over-produced, studio-slick guitar band model that has been the basis of so many of their peers. Leisureland displays a range of influences from the song-writing of the Kinks and Supergrass, to the fuzzy West Coast retro-psych of B.R.M.C and Queens of the Stone Age. Much of the album was recorded live, capturing the raw spirit of VFI performances and was bounced down on to reel-to-reel tape. In the way that their predecessors did, they have used these techniques to give the record an honest and refreshing sound and appeal.
