So continuing with Vex Red day, here is their first 7" Itch. I remember not liking Itch as much as Can't Smile but still thinking it was a pretty good song. The heavy chorus/electronic verse/angst-y lyrics is pretty typical of their style. If you have no idea who this band are this is a good example of their music, but I probably wouldn't bother rushing to YouTube to give them a listen.
The non-album b-side Fast Cars begins (ironically) very slowly but builds up into the usual heavy/electronic combination they were going for. Nothing special really, but when this came out I absolutely adored it so it gets some points for nostalgia.
