New Music: Listen to The Virgins on AOL Today

After an introduction to the world via Gossip Girl last Fall, The Virgins have arrived with their first self-titled album today, and it's a lot of fun. The quartet hails from New York City and infuses pop melodies with a punky-sounding bass and guitar. Singer Donald Cummings' distinctive voice gives each song a little more of an edge than you might expect.

It's the kind of music DJs will have fun mixing in clubs, I bet, and I could picture their tunes being used to back up runway strutting during Fashion Week. You can listen to the entire album at AOL, and after the jump you can watch a live performance of "Rich Girls," one of the five songs that was featured on GG, so read more

Five Songs by The Virgins to Be Featured on Gossip Girl Tonight

Music Supervisor Alexandra Patsavas is trucking right along on her crusade to bring cool music to the TV-watching masses.

Music Supervisor Alexandra Patsavas is trucking right along on her crusade to bring cool music to the TV-watching masses. Tonight's episode of Gossip Girl, titled "Seventeen Candles" on account of Blair's seventeenth birthday, will feature five songs by New York band The Virgins. That's a good number of songs by the same band to be played in one episode! These dudes will probably be household names in little time.

Until tonight you can download the song "Love Is Colder Than Death" and I would definitely recommend doing so. The song has a boppy, '80s-style thing going on that I'm really digging. So, well played, Patsavas: Now I'm going to have to buy their EP! Tune in tonight to hear the other songs, and let me know what you think of the Virgins' totally sweet Gossip Girl placement in Molly's weekly rundown on Thursday.
