"I Became a Prostitute" by The Twilight Sad

This Scottish band called The Twilight Sad has been around a couple of years but they are part of a new wave of powerful Scottish Indie rock and this is from a soon-to-be-released album and it's really good. A searing wall of staccato guitar and driving rhythm backs the vocalist's punchy emotive delivery. Reminds me of Sonic Youth but with a more acccesible song structure.
(Note: the guitarist plays a Fender Jaguar through a Silverface Twin)

This is the official pre-album video release on Youtube:
