In August, DCist reviewed Thanks For Your Concern (but we’re okay), the latest offering from The Vita Ruins. Now it’s September and the band’s wormed its way into our iPods, our hearts, and our stage at Unbuckled 4. Here’s a second look at our review of the band’s EP. See the real thing tomorrow night at DC9 as the band takes the stage with Middle Distance Runner.

A couple weeks ago, DCist was outside the 9:30 Club when a couple fellas promoting their EP Thanks For Your Concern (but we’re okay) handed us a copy. The band is The Vita Ruins and we were expecting to hear more Pitchfork rock, an upstart college band, maybe even a rough EP by a new rock group recorded on affordable gear in their practice space. But we definitely weren’t expecting to hear THIS. And we aren’t the only ones that have taken notice either, as word of this band is quickly spreading through the local music community and across the internet. The Vita Ruins are about to break and you better take a listen.
