Haircut 100

I came across an old clip of Haircut 100's video for Favourite Shirts (boy meets girl) and something really struck me about their sound.



This analogy may be a bit off but they kinda have a Vampire Weekend sound about them. They both employ similar guitar rhythms and make extensive use of afro styled beats from the 70's.
They both also seem to have an affinity for sweaters.

This song was also one of the first pop songs to employ rap in their sound. Well them and Blondie's rapture.
