In the time since the release of their album Bring on the Comets in 2007, the two core members of VHS or Beta packed up and moved from Louisville, Kentucky to Brooklyn, New York. The shift in location resulted in a change of direction for their music, which has become even more electronic and dance-oriented than before. Diamonds and Death, the band's third full-length album, reflects their extensive experience as DJs and remixers, with bright synthesizer parts bouncing off of hyper-kinetic live and programmed beats. The album won't hit stores until September 27th, but you can download its vibrant first single "Breaking Bones" for free right now.

Song Stories

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
