We like rock music more than you. It's just the way it is…

Amidst all the craziness that Arcade Fire supplied on the blogosphere over the past two days, America’s indie-rock darlings Vampire Weekend decided to add to that fun by giving us a new song and a new music video on the same day.



First up we have a new video from the band for their song “Holiday”. Now we’ve all heard the gripes people may have about VW. They’re too preppy. They’re just a bunch of spoiled rich kids. They probably knew somebody so they could make it big. So the NYC based quartet decided to take that posh image and run with it to the fullest.

In the video, which you can see down below, the guys are dressed to the nines in the finest Victorian-era clothing money can provide while hanging out at lavish locations and indulging in pleasures that only the rich know of. You’ll be a fan of the video.

Also down below you can check out their contribution to the Eclipse soundtrack with the song “Jonathan Low”. It’s definitely not what you’d expect to come from the band. This would definitely be a b-side primarily because of the 12-string part played by Rostam Batmanglij.
