If you like Blur, The Vaccines and/or Arctic Monkeys, I’ve got some further listening for you. Charmless I is the new band of singer/guitarist Alex Pasveer. His rock songs possess the catchiness of British pop music, driven by soaring guitar parts and a pounding synth-bass, delivered with a distinct Dutch touch.

Debut single Fire Up (Here We Go) was mastered in New York by Andy Vendette, who worked with David Bowie, Deep Purple, and Beastie Boys before. An EP will follow in the fall.
