The Van T’s EP Laguna Babe out now!
“… the musical equivalent of a John Hughes movie.” - Clash
“… guaranteed to make waves…” - Backseat Mafia
Grunge-inspired surf-rock four piece, The Van T's, are delighted to announce the official release of their EP Laguna Babe available to buy on Bandcamp and iTunes via Bloc+Music.
The release has attracted a great response thus far as the twin sister led band have enthralled many of the music industry's movers and shakers with their vintage American guitar sound and quirky lyrics. The recently released title track premiered on A Music Blog, Yea? and is a no nonsense garage rock number, with a heavy reverb sound giving it an other worldly feel, as grunge-inspired guitar licks and Karen O style vocal delivery captivates the listener. You can now watch the video for the single on the band's YouTube page.
Laguna Babe is also available to stream and buy via the band’s Bandcamp page or by clicking the embed below:
The Van T’s also previously released free download track ‘Growler', which premiered on Clash. The track is yet another superb example of the band's cloudy, noise pop sensibilities, and can be downloaded for free via the ABoF Soundcloud page.
Laguna Babe is a collection of vignettes covering the highs and lows of twin sisters Hannah and Chloe Van Thompson’s life. The two front women create songs that are both personal and quirky as they document the positive and negative experiences of dealing with their late teens, no subject too risqué, as they approach their twenties. The tone of the EP pulls on the the surf rock sounds of Hinds and Dum Dum Girls, and provides a platform for bassist Joanne Forbes and drummer Shaun Hood to compete with the twisted synchronicity of dual-leads Hannah and Chloe.
The Van T’s have already graced the stage of T In The Park and Electric Fields as well as recently supporting the brilliant Honeyblood. They plan to spend the rest of the year touring Scotland and beyond as the band begin to break out from their hometown in the west of Scotland, ready to take on the rest of the world. The official launch of the EP will take place tomorrow, Saturday 14th, at Hug and Pint in Glasgow where the band will share the stage with the sublime United Fruit.
The Van T's EP Laguna Babe is out now via Bloc+ Music and can be purchased on Bandcamp and iTunes.
