San Jose-based ambient alt-rock band A Skyway View have been compared to The Cure and The Psychedelic Furs. Their fourth album, The Victoria Trap, delivers a simultaneously melodic and aggressive sonic attitude. Featuring operatic vocals—which at times recall the forceful delivery of former Foxy Shazam frontman Eric Nally—atmospheric keys, driving bass lines and deliberate, propulsive drumming, the group debut their brand new music video for “Never Let Me Go” at Art Boutiki this weekend. Catch a sneak peek of the clip on the group’s Facebook page: facebook.com/skywayview. (CM)
