The Rapture Play with Shiny Toy Guns

Oh, the noise, the funk. This time, it's being brought to you courtesy of the boys in that New-York-based, genre-spanning foursome, The Rapture.

Currently finishing up some dates in exotic, far away places like Australia and Japan, the band just announced a co-headlining tour with Universal Motown labelmates Shiny Toy Guns starting later this month.
