VAMPIRE STATE BUILDING - nXt EP 1995

First A Warning! this is not punkrock but it kicks as well. My first contact with the band was I think in 1997, my girlfriend at that time gives me a tape with a song on it and I was instantly impressed. Later I heard their only album 50 Hz Broken and this is really great. I'm really glad to have found a little info about this extraordinary band so I give you a bit of it: 

"Vampire State Building was a hard rocking techno/industrial/goth band with an original sound that incorporated many different styles. Calm atmospheric interludes give way to all hell breaking out, techno landscapes are punctuated by strange samples, sweet female vocals compete with grinding beats. Their two singles are, unexpectedly enough, covers of Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Bronski Beat songs, and their poppy version of the latter ("Smalltown Boy") became a hit on Norwegian radio. The cliché fits: Expect the unexpected with Vampire State Building. The band was only active a few years, and unofficially disbanded after working on their second album, which was to be released in 1997. However, they attracted a lot of attention, and they are a band that was ahead of their time in their music, performance, and image. Members of Vampire State Building have gone on to enjoy success in Zeromancer, Lonely Crowd, and Red Harvest." (source: opelwerk.com)

I recommend urgently the side because it is really very informative and of course to procure the album. Energetically, romantically, and damn good lyrics waiting for you and I promise: you will be amazed. This EP was their last release and the following video is a song of a compilation, as a small bonus within. It would be nice to know how you find this.
