Chilean rock quintet Los Bunkers has a jangly, garage-rock vibe that does three exceptional things, all at the same time: It harks back to the past, it invites comparisons to current contemporaries, and it glimmers all on its own. The group, composed of two sets of brothers and a stray friend, has released three international albums since 2001 and toured with Oasis. Vida de Perros is its debut stateside effort, and it has drawn justified comparisons to Franz Ferdinand and the Strokes via that same rock-couture sound. Los Bunkers even seem to channel that Brit-pop Beatles charm during "Nada Mas de Mi" and "Llueve Sobre La Ciudad," but this isn't a mere copycat outfit. The sounds are fresh, focused and modern, anchored by driving guitars and sexy lyrics. Bask in the maddeningly catchy rays of "Te Vistes y Te Vas" and "Ven Aqui." A dog's life never sounded so good.
