View, The Vinyl Records
Scotland's the View make a rousing brand of classicist pop/rock distinguished by lead singer Kyle Falconer's puckish brogue. The band broke through with their Top Five U.K. single "Same Jeans" off 2007's Hats Off to the Buskers. While the band's sound has matured, they've retained their knack for hooky anthems, a skill that helped them reach the Top 20 of the U.K. Albums Chart with 2009's Which Bitch?, 2011's Bread and Circuses, and 2012's Cheeky for a Reason.
