Without looking it up, I am pretty sure it is the rhythm section. The Viet Cong album isn't bad; it mostly sounds like that influx of post-punk bands that came around in the early aughts. Nothing outstanding, but if you have 40 minutes to kill…

You do realize that they got a lot of shit for their name back then right?

Give this man a day's worth of music news spin!

If they were only from the States or England they could append a US or UK to their name and calm all of this stuff down.
