Damn Vandals return with their new single Can’t Go Dancing When You’re Gone, backed by B-side Hey Little Bunny – the follow up to their highly successful Bayonet release earlier this year. 
Both tracks are supported by videos: http://youtu.be/uEJnWVBP5Y8 and http://youtu.be/fHu09FBlt-A 

Can’t Go Dancing When You’re Gone showcases the bands dynamic, taut, post punk sound. 
The distinctive vocals of lead singer, London’s Jack Kansas, have already drawn comparisons ranging from Ian Curtis to David Bowie. Kansas is joined by the angular guitar of Oxford’s Frank Pick alongside Adam Kilemore Gardens from N. Ireland on bass and Chris Christianson III from Sheffield via Switzerland on drums.

The B-side Hey Little Bunny introduces a more psychedelic / shoegaze side to the band’s sound. 

“Pixies meeting The Strokes with a touch of Guns n Roses swagger thrown on top.”
Spoonfed

The London based band, who have not yet been together for 18 months, have already received support from Q Radio, Total Rock Radio, BFBS, Dandelion Radio and Radio2XS to name but a few.
They are now busy preparing for the release of their eponymous debut album to be released December 2011.

“A barrage of serrated riffs, a touch of shoegaze, a dose of post punk and a dense edgy groove that’ll have indie rock fans frothing at the mouth” Rhythm & Booze

“Swaggering rock ‘n’ roll” Time Out

	“Defined vocals and music brought to life through sharp guitars creating a dirty atmosphere”
Room Thirteen

“A thrill ... they are bringing guitar-driven music and the emotion of post-punk back into the limelight."

“If you are a fan of Echo And The Bunnymen or even the Pixies this might just be your cup of tea."

Damn Vandals return on 18th March with their new single, ‘Kings Of Never’.
The track features on their highly critically acclaimed debut album ‘Done For Desire’, which was one of Glasswerk’s 
‘Top 10 Albums Of 2012’ and Bloomberg’s ‘Best CDs of 2012’.  
The B-side, ‘The Revenge Of Spider Toothy’, is a song written by a 3 year old child (honestly!)

As well as seeing their debut album release and numerous live UK shows, 2012 was a busy year for the band – culminating in a live session broadcast on Sky TV’s prime time Loaded TV show. 
Their exhilarating live shows have gained them a reputation as one of “the most talented and exciting rock band on the music scene for years” (TAPEtoTAPE), and 2013 will see further touring along with a number of UK festival appearances already agreed.

“Damn Vandals, a great live band, thoroughly recommend seeing them, I’ve seen them a couple of times and on both occasions they’ve been absolutely superb, so much energy on stage, a proper rock n roll band.” Chris Hawkins, BBC 6Music

The single is produced by Julian Simmons, whose credits include Ed Sheeran, Midlake, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Guillemots, and Goldheart Assembly.

The powerful vocals of Jack Kansas have drawn comparisons with David Bowie, Mark Lanegan, Jim Morrison and Matt Berninger of The National. Kansas is supported by a toweringly-talented band, consisting of Adam Kilemore Gardens (bass), Chris Christianson (drums) and Frank Pick with his soaring and haunting guitar riffs. 

“Each song is pure gold….. Damn Vandals are going to be huge - get in on the ground floor with this stunning debut.
