#2: Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
12.24.2008
#2: Vampire Weekend - Vampire WeekendComing in at #2 is the breakthrough sensation of 2008, Vampire Weekend. Their debut self-titled album struck gold with the release of the hit single "A-Punk." Aside from that, it's the funky quirkiness of tunes like "Oxford Comma," "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa," and "I Stand Corrected" that makes VW's music so desirable.
To think that a few years ago, these guys were nobodies with everyday jobs is pretty amazing. It has been recited all year that lead vocalist Ezra Koenig was a science teacher one day, and had a record deal the next. The band's fame took off so fast that it seems as if they came out of nowhere.
Now, VW is a staple in indie music. They have been selling out shows across the nation and playing some of the largest festivals in the world. Their music fits in perfectly anywhere. There is no question that VW is here to stay for a while.
