It's not quite Thanksgiving yet, but we have been given good reason to be thankful. Indie punk quartet VIAL have blessed us with their debut single and video.
"Rough," off their forthcoming album Grow Up, sets the scene for another fantastic entry in the hallowed halls of stressed-out punk anthems. Regrets and rapidly accumulating angst pile up faster than you can say "get to the gig." The lyrics are shameless in their catharsis. VIAL offset the restlessness by setting their diaristic poetry to a catchy and jaunty punk banger. Buy it on Bandcamp below or stream it on the platform of your choice.
The video, directed by Emily Nordstrom and shot by Sophi Dudley, lightly parodies Scream and is very good. There's some good ol' kidnapping and murder. Revive the spirit(s) of Halloween and get spooked. But not too spooked - VIAL has another video out next week! Wow!
Grow Up will be released November 29 via Brace Cove Records. The entire album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Abe Anderson (of niiice. and solo fame).
