Album Description

These Richmond, VA synth-punk insurgents play what they call "adventure funcore". They use multiple synthesizers and no guitars, but they're more of a conventional rock band than an electronic band. They just happen to play keyboards and get a different sound from most other groups.

Customer Reviews:

This is a joke...right?.......2006-10-01

Silly music. Nice try to do something different but actually it sounds like porn music from the 70s. I guess that would be new to the youngster interested in this stuff.

Open your mind to something new.......2006-08-03

VCR has opened my eyes and mind to something awesome. This punkcore-electro-pop or whatever you want to call it is simply awesome. The music blurs the lines which separate genres. Every song on this CD is solid gold and it is well worth the less than $7 you'll be paying for it. I can't wait to get their other album. The music is fun, powerful and makes you want to move! Especially Bratcore, which is availible for free download through Amazon.

really something.........2006-06-04

I saw this band in September 2005 at ..some university in Richmond, opening for the band Deerhoof. I was really surprised, they were such a fun band and their fans were crazy. I definitely fell in love, there's not another band out there like them. I haven't purchased their new full length album "Power Destiny" yet, but but I expect that it's great.
On this one, I'd have say Rad is my favorite. Though Bratcore is definitely the most fun live.
I'm proud of Virginia for producing this great band, it doesn't hurt that they're usually playing nearby quite often.

Fun, at last!.......2006-04-15

What's funny is that I was just talking to some friends today about how music just doesn't seem fun, anymore, and that the artists of the past 15-20 years mostly seem to be copies of one another.
I love these guys, because I can't say any of that about them. The first time I heard this made me smile. Even though synths normally sound terrible to me (like when they're trying to sound like something else), this made them seem new and shiny again. I listen to them when I need a reminder that music isn't all the same and/or that I've already heard, bought, and played to death every style of music (or close to) that I could possibly ever like.

Listen to the album cuts, and download Bratcore: this is exactly what you're getting.

Get this if you have a taste for quirky music, things, or people. Or if you like old style punk and don't hate synths... or you like 8-16 bit video games. Or have ever loved Mystery Science Theater 3000. Or if you're an 80's kid and watched those cheesy movies. Or like music that just sounds fun and energetic. I liked this for all of the above reasons, and some others, too.
