San Francisco's Vue rock like they were born a couple decades too late. In a similar fashion to indie bands the Go and the Greenhorns, the foursome fuses '70s-era Rolling Stones blues-rock with Velvet Underground-styled psychedelic garage jams. On their second full-length, Find Your Home, retro-minded Vue continue to sweat their sexually driven lyrics all over hip-shaking rock & roll. Frontman Rex John Shelverton sounds like a young, American Mick Jagger, strutting his emotional damage through feverish wails and come-ons while his band sways moody, narcotic rhythms around him. With this sophomore release, Vue pull from some of the most talented bands of the past to become a talent in their own right for the future. --Jennifer Maerz
