Vivian Girls have gotta be the best indiepop band of the past 20 years (as of the time of writing), and easily up there for one of the best of all time. They're not really doing anything too extravagant; Cassie Ramone's choice of stage-name is very appropriate for their music, which is mainly fast punky songs played with so much reverb that everything starts to melt together. And for those who like those sort of things, they've got some really lovely harmonies at times, and even some nods to girl groups (most blatantly in "Take It As It Comes").
