Band: THE VANIERS (van-ee-ays)

Who: Toronto-based rock trio formed in 2016. Known for delivering scorching live performances and dazzling crowds, The Vaniers have become a staple in the Toronto
music scene, celebrated for their high-octane shows and catchy tunes. Two years ago
they released their debut album All Together Now. Last year the 3-piece started
working towards their sophomore LP.

New single: CHARLIE
The second shared track, following Faces,
from their new, upcoming LP.

Diego Paz (bass/vocals): “Believe it or not, “Charlie,” and most of the songs on this record, were stolen from us. Our hard drives, all of our work up to that point, disappeared overnight. To keep it short, we had to start the entire process again. Of course, we were gutted when it happened, but looking back on it, the songs went through more deliberation as a result. The second time around, we really doubled down on some of the risks we took, and through that
we feel we made some of our most sincere music that is truest to ourselves as artists, and as people.”

TUTV: Charlie pumps up your bloodstream’s flow from the kick-off, pushed by a mean bass-riff and propulsive drums while Weezer-esque guitar riffage and agitated vocals add extra oomph to get you in an eye-blink-182, out of your lazy couch and bounce around like if your ass is on fire. Hail hail rawk ‘n’ bloody roll.
