Keeping themselves busy

Some cheery news amid the gloom. The band formerly known as Viet Cong are back, with a new name: Preoccupations. Hopefully, as frontman Matt Flegel says, they can "move on" from all of the toxic controversy surrounding their old one and "focus on our music". Their 2015 debut LP was an absolute corker so I for one can't wait for a taster of the new material.
