VANT announce 'indefinite hiatus'

After Wild Beasts only just calling time on the music, today comes the announcement from VANT that they will be taking an indefinite hiatus.

Posting on their social media sites, the four members issued the following:

“Some of you were right to question the title of our upcoming tour ‘The Last Days Of Punk’,” the band’s statement reads. “We can now officially reveal that we are going on an indefinite hiatus.

“We wanted to end this part of our journey where we began, in tiny venues, in often over-looked towns. We came from those places (Seaham, Poulton-le-Fylde, Sandy Lane, Bensham) and when a band played anywhere near us, whoever they may have been, we were grateful and elated. They were the bands that made us want to make music in the first place. They showed us it was possible.

“It seems apt for us to return the favour one last time before we depart to explore other musical worlds for a while.”




They also revealed that they will be playing a tour - entitled The Last Days Of Punk - which will see them playing small venues around the country, starting on October 19 at Plymouth's The Junction. Scroll down for dates.

There will also be a mini album, 'Talk Like Thunder', released via their own Dumb Blood Records, which will comprise six tracks including ‘Jump' which is streaming now.
