As for VHS or Beta, the thing you should know about them is that singer/guitarist Craig Pfunder sounds just like Robert Smith. He's not trying to emulate Smith, he just sings like Smith.
I've been meaning to check out the band for a while now, especially because their debut and sophomore record was on my favorite Astralwerks Record.
Unlike some bands that "moved on", I'm glad to see VHS or Beta still do "old" songs for their fans, including opening up with "Burn it All Down" from Bring on the Comets.
Of course, they played a lot of new songs from their latest album Diamonds & Death (out now via Krian Music Group/ Chromosome Records.) I didn't know the new material, but I remember "I Found A Reason" was played early on.
For the price of free, it's definitely worth it to check out the band on this AV Club/Killian tour.
