Music on TV - Week of 02.13.12::Sleigh Bells

Sleigh Bells are this week's musical guest on Saturday Night Live.

In the recently released video for Sleigh Bells' single "Comeback Kid," we're greeted by the smiling visage of singer Alexis Krauss jumping up and down on a flower-adorned bed, with a shotgun in her hand. It's the perfect visual for the sugared razor blade of sound that Krauss and guitarist Derek Miller seem to have perfected since their debut, Treats, was released in 2010. Krauss' sugary sweet vocals invite you in, while Miller's guitar onslaught delivers a kick to the crotch.

Next week, they'll be releasing their sophomore release, Reign of Terror, and in support of that endeavor, the duo are taking their sweet-but-deadly live show to 30 Rockefeller Plaza, as this week's musical guest on Saturday Night Live. There's rumors that they might be playing three songs, but only two are known: Lead single "Comeback Kid," along with the comparitively mellow "End of the Line."
