Abe Vigoda sign to Bella Union

Cheer up, guys - you've just signed a record deal!

Bella Union - one of DiS's favourite labels of recent years (read our Label Profile) - has completed the signing of Los Angeles' tropical punks Abe Vigoda - one of DiS's favourite bands of this year.

Says the label: "Part punk, part pop, part new wave, part tropical, Abe Vigoda bring forth an entirely new sound that is both temptingly beautiful and melodically tropical." We couldn't agree more, as might just be implied by our recent review of their first proper album, Skeleton, HERE.

Bella Union will give Skeleton an official UK release - it is out stateside via PPM - on August 11.

Abe Vigoda live in Chinatown

  • !!!

    awesome news, I thought Skeleton was already out on PPM... didn't it come out yesturday?

    • yeah, as it says above

      is already out in the US.

      • ah.... miss read,

        "it is out stateside via PPM - on August 11."

        That confused me, i thought it was saying its out on August 11th :p

        • why

          does Skeleton keep getting called 'first proper album' i'v got 'Kid City' and 'Sky Route/Star Roof' and they both seem like albums to me!

          • tropical?

            what the fuck does tropical mean?!

            • They play

              their guitars with pineapples and bananas??

              • well the

                guitars have this odd effect on them sometimes that make them sound like steel drums,and the general beat of the tunes is quite tropic sounding!

          • those two weren't widely distributed

            i suppose.

  • band sounds interesting

    I like the tropical idea... might check them out.

    • tropical

      they tune their guitars up real high so they sound hawaiian. this is in some degrees 'tropical'...it aint too difficult.
      hawaiian punk dont sound as good as tropical punk, but end of day, theyre just awesome, end of.
