VANT - Karma Seeker

1.    Who are these rock heroes?

      VANT are one of the most exciting punk bands to scream out of London since The Clash. Bringing vital life to the English music scene since 2014 they have three short players to their roll of honor. Karma Seeker (June'16) is the lead single from an up-coming fourth EP.

   2. How good is Karma Seeker? 

Karma Seeker is filler compared to some of VANT's previous red-hot efforts. It's all a bit waffley with Red Hot Chili Peppers verses and wank faux philosophical lyrics. But the tune is redeemed by a hard rocking chorus and all in all still rates as rock solid compared to the vast majority of their contemporaries output. 

     

   3. Which bands do VANT sound like?

     Euphoriazine compared Karma Seeker to Nirvana. Generally VANT are similar to FIDLAR, Get Innuit, Public Access TV or even Sundara Karma.

   4. What have the cut and paste bandits said about Karma Seeker?

    “A biting anthem-in-waiting” – Clash Music.

    “Socially aware rock music with a philosophical edge” – Euphoriazine.

    “The hell-raisers are on typically raucous form” – DIY.

   5. Which bands have influenced VANT?

    The prime movers are The Kinks, Fugazi, The Clash and Rage Against The Machine.

   6. Why should I give Karma Seeker a whip past the ears?

     Because it's not shit. From  a band as exciting as VANT all installments on their path to rock'n'roll immortality must be exalted. Get yer snout in the trough.

   7. What other belters have VANT got in the cupboard?

     Fly-By Alien, Parking Lot and Do You Know Me? are all of the highest order.

   8. Any more words peanut?

    Not a dilly.

      Arkells are a very successful alternative rock band from Hamilton, Canada. Playing together since 2006 they have three remarkable albums on their resume and a fourth due in August 2016 and picked up Juno Awards for 2012 and 2015 Group Of The Year and Album Of The Year for High Noon (2014). Book Club (2011) is a track from their second album Michigan Left that didn't rate a single release yet has over half a million You Tube views and a song that Pure Volume said is “impossible not to fall head over heels for those glittering guitars, whimsical harmonies and sixties-inspired vocal lines.”

“Take me to the bus stop Matty,

Drive me back to Hamilton”
