VIAL

Minneapolis’ VIAL magically met each other through a Tinder post in 2019, brought together by a shared love of 90’s punk, indie, and grunge. Launching into their home scene with their debut Grow Up they quickly became local favorites with everyone from The Current to Music In Minnesota. Their new LP "HELLHOUND", produced by Martin Cooke (Death Cab For Cutie, Of Monsters And Men) is a powerhouse that draws from vintage punk, classic metal and all in between. 13 songs of anger, betrayal and cynicism; and anyone who’s crossed them is squarely in the target. The record is a culmination of influences and experience and an explosive chapter in VIAL’s life. Behind everything they do is an underlying dedication to causes ranging from gender equality and abortion rights to supporting indigenous arts and refugee aid. The band constantly helps on a material level, funneling income directly to these groups. Many artists pay lip service to making the world a better place. VIAL put their money where their mouths are and their steel toes where the sun don’t shine.
