What even is punk, eh? Is it a style, an attitude, a set of ethics and morals? Whatever your verdict, your opinion, VANT are adamant that punk’s days are numbered. Or, at least, that’s what their forthcoming tour suggests, with its name The Last Days Of Punk.
Says frontman Mattie Vant of the upcoming dates:
"This summer we made our US debut in New York and Chicago at Lollapalooza, we’ve been all over Europe and last weekend we played the biggest shows we’ve ever done on the main stages of Reading and Leeds Festivals. This autumn we’re going back to the spirit of punk, back into intimate venues across the UK, many in places we’ve never played before, getting up close with our audience and bringing the Dumb Blood era to a hot and sweaty conclusion before starting work on our next album.”
The band’s debut album, Dumb Blood, came out in February 2017, picking up a four-K! review. Listen to the record below, beneath the dates for the Last Days Of Punk tour.
