The high desert has not always been known as the breeding grounds for post-punk, but that’s all about to change. Vacancy is a four piece from Victorville, Calif. featuring members of groups such as Marrón, Restrained, and Esperanza. The five songs on this EP shimmer with the kind of radiance and unbridled fury not usually associated with post-punk. I’m imagining the road trips to gigs with mix tapes blaring Siouxsie And The Banshees, Rites Of Spring, Flesh World (SF), and Quicksand. –Juan Espinosa (Extinction Burst, extinction-burst.com, extinctionburst.bandcamp.com)
