Listen To This: Soft On The Inside

9/08/2008 2:30 PM ET | Filed under: Listen To This

Ignore their harsh exterior and just listen.

They may look like [fill in the blank], but Velvet Code has made a very pretty song, and you know we love us some pretty songs!

Though they're from New York, the lead singer sounds like he's from England. And, though it's 2008, the song is straight-up '80s.

Both of those are pluses in our book!

Check out Velvet Code's Say You Love Me below.

Bring on the new NEW romantics!

Flock of Smegma meets Duran x2 with leather appeal.

Sometimes your music picks are spot on.
