Next Elvis #5: Versant

Info: Shiny Toy Guns is an amazing band with some killer stuff off their debut album We Are Pilots. Carah Faye Charnow was the female lead singer, and did a great job in my opinion, which is saying a lot because I'm not very partial to female lead vocals. Well, there was a falling out, and now someone else is singing for STG, and, in my opinion, messing things up. So naturally I wanted to see what Carah Faye was up to, and found out that she has this other band Versant, which kinda really rocks.

Sounds Like: Shiny Toy Guns, an eclectic mix of pop, punk, and rock, citing Mew, Kent, Coldplay, The Cardigans, and Michael Jackson as inspirations.

Bio: From their MySpace page: "Versant is in the process of putting the final touches on their self-released EP, due out March 23rd, 2010. Reaction to demos posted on their MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/versantmusic) has been unanimous: Although only debuting, Versant exceeds high expectations, and introduces loyal fans to a bristling new musical collaboration."

Why it's going to be the next Elvis: Because Versant just sounds/feels right, and they have the background to kick it up a notch.
