The Vacancy
She Walks Right Through Me

unsigned

WE SAY

This band have been championed on The Tip Sheet message board and also discussed on our board. They're a three piece, aged between 19 and 22 and featuring James on vocals, Josh on hammond/synth and his brother Zack on guitar. Their list of influences includes Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello, both of whom can be detected on this extremely well crafted pop song. They were recently played on Capital Disney and got such a good reaction that they will be interviewed on there tonight from 7pm. Several leading labels are interested as of the past fortnight.
