Las Vegas may be associated with slot machines, all-you-can-eat buffets and speedy nuptials, but for British alt-rock act Your Vegas—whose journey began in Leeds suburb Otley, where vocalist Coyle Girelli and bandmates listened to U2, Depeche Mode and Nirvana—Sin City represents "escaping to a different place"—wherever that might be. Extensive touring in the United Kingdom and relocation to New York led to a major-label deal and sold-out shows with the Bravery. First single off forthcoming debut "In My Head" is a polished anthem with a big, soaring sound, courtesy of producer David Bendeth. Like Muse, quartet Your Vegas does an admirable job of balancing theatricality and bombast with an emotionally engaging message.—Alexandra Cahill
