The Raveonettes sign to Vice
Copenhagan's The Raveonettes have signed to Vice. The acclaimed US/Danish rock duo will make their debut for the label in 2008 with Lust Lust Lust.
The band formed in 2001 and recorded their debut Whip It On which was later honored as "Album of the Year" in the Danish Music Awards. They are known for a signature blend of two part
harmonies, lo–fi garage sound and 60s noir aesthetic. Comparisons have been drawn
to everyone from the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Velvet Underground and Suicide to
Buddy Holly, the Shangri–Las and Ronnie Spector.
Some tracks from Lust Lust Lust can be found on their myspace page.
