The Vicious Five

Another myspace find. Sick mother Effing Band!
These guys are from Portugal. I have no idea what language. there definitely some english in there, but there is otherwise unintelligible lyrics. At least being in another language would be a good excuse for it.
I am given the impression of the Black Keys kicking people in faces. Not to say the keys arent doing that already, but this band is doing it in a destroying something beautiful kind of way.


Their single (?, they have a video) reminds me of Jet, but not like in a ">Gap kind of way - more of a yellow rat bastard kind of way. One can't help but notice the sausage fingers on one of the guitarists, as depicted in the video.

This music makes me believe Portugal is a radical place with deserts and guitars and wires, and cactus, and black blood, and people rocking till they die. I don't even think bulls can survive in such a climate. Ive never been there, but is this correct?
