Weekend Showcase 2.26

i saw something in your eye when you looked at me
i get a little bit uptight what this could be
now I’m trying to figure out what you were thinking
now I’m figuring it out, it starts to sink in

wait a minute, wait a minute
wait a minute, wait a minute, 
wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a minute (wait!)
we grow apart, we fall apart, we break apart
it’s just the start of us coming apart

why do you, when I try to speak, yeah why do you talk over me
I'm fed up of skirting around the truth when you look right through me

wait a minute just admit it take a minute to commit to a decision
can we give in and admit this
that we’ve grown apart, we’re falling apart, don’t make this hard
it's just the start of us coming apart

apart at the seams, pull apart at our dream 
you were part of me now we break apart

I saw nothing in your eyes when you looked at me
i’ve known this for a while you and me it aint working
So take a minute, admit it, lets commit to it
it’s a decision and we can get used to it

cos we grow apart, we fall apart, we break apart
I know it’s hard
we’re coming apart

Break!

Come Apart

Overthink It

Thick of the Honey

Y Grito

now’s the time
take back all your space and I’ll take back mine
letting out your breath when I breathe in mine
say what you need to say and I’ll be just fine
I'll take it in my stride

I let myself get lost in you
gave it all too much, too much too soon
And within you I would disappear
so when you wanted me I wasn’t there
and when your hands searched through searched through the sheets
to only find an empty shell of me
but when I finally found the sense to leave
I felt myself flood back, flood into me

(flood flood flood flood
back in to me)

summer nights showed me all your skin
so I showed you mine
we dissolved right in but overtime
I was losing the edge of myself so I drew a line
what I became was a blur

I let myself get lost in you
I gave it all too much too much too soon
and within you I would disappear
so when you wanted me I wasn’t there
and when your hands searched through searched through the sheets
to only find an empty shell of me
but when I finally found the sense to leave
I felt myself flood back, flood into me

After creating a stir in 2015 with a bold and noisy surf-rock sound showcased on the EP Laguna Babe, The Van T’s have made a swift return with their follow up EP A Coming of Age.

Having begun writing songs at just seventeen years old, twin sisters Hannah (guitar, vocals) and Chloe Van Thompson (guitar, vocals) decided to start a band shortly after. Initially playing shows in and around Scotland as a duo, the twins recruited Joanne Forbes (bass) and Shaun Hood (drums) in an attempt to add more layers to an already impressive sound. As a result The Van T’s were born, complete with a sunny 50’s jukebox style sound and a twist of cathartic 90’s grunge thrown in for good measure, captivating both fans and music aficionados alike.

Taking inspiration from band’s such as the B52’s, Veruca Salt, Smashing Pumpkins and Le Butcherettes, The Van T’s have created a contemporary, scuzz-filled record that also has an endearing raw quality pouring out from every note. Lead single ‘Blood Orange’ encapsulates the bands characteristics perfectly as electrifying guitar howls and echoes from the speakers, bridged beautifully by the twin sisters duel vocals, all neatly harnessed by the simple yet effective interplay between drums and bass. 

Despite the band being in its infancy, The Van T’s have already appeared at T in the Park, Wickerman, Electric Fields, Tenement Trail and Strange Behaviours as well as supporting Catholic Action and Honeyblood. This has seen them pick up support from Clash, The Scotsman, Beat Surrender, Backseat Mafia, BBC Radio Scotland, Amazing Radio and XFM Scotland. 2016 looks like it will be another hectic year for The Van T’s with appearances scheduled at Wide Days, Stag & Dagger and Brew at the Bog, a support slot with HAWK in London and culminating with two dates supporting the mighty Yuck.

A Coming of Age by The Van T’s is released July 1st via Bloc+Music.
