The slow one's on, pass the water round I can barely function, can't even make a sound anymore I'm burning up, put me on ice I'm on fire
The new ones on, let's order a round We can drown our sorrows, we can blow out smoke to the sounds Of revelation and peace of mind We're on fire
Apologies, I guess it wasn't quite what we'd planned So won't you help me understand
Won't you be my exoskeleton Won't you be my epidural pen You lift me up when I'm too tired to stand You're my exoskeleton
This is the one everybody knows Lift me up on your shoulders Scream every last word from your lungs
I'm coming up, push me on high I'm on fire
And this must be the part where they give us some truth Like "you can find the answer standing next to you"
So won't, so won't you help me understand
Won't you be my exoskeleton Won't you be my epidural pen You lift me up when I'm too tired to stand You're my exoskeleton
Exo Exo Exo I can barely breathe on my own
Won't you be my exoskeleton Won't you be my exoskeleton
Exo, exo I can barely breathe on my own
Exo, exo I can barely breathe on my own
Exo, exo I can barely breathe on my own
You're my exoskeleton

Mattie and co. have gone on indefinite hiatus - but that doesn't mean they won't be back.
"This is the first time they've let us outside at this festival," Mattie Vant exclaims. VANT certainly aren't going to let this opportunity pass them by. From opener ‘Fly-By Alien’ through to closer ‘Parking Lot’, there’s a constant singalong coming from the…
VANT’s debut album is a sprawling listen. A collection of ideas, thoughts, beliefs and hopes. It’s a reflection of the times and presents countless rabbit holes to tumble down and threads to pull at. Live, there’s less discovery and more adventure. With the excitement dialled up and everything making a more direct sense on stage, VANT are a band fully realised as they headline London’s Electric Ballroom. Onstage for a little over an hour, the band burn through their set with an intense desire to make each pointed moment or reckless abandon count for something. It quickly adds up to blistering and jaw dropping. With the album out and their cards on the table, it feels like everything has come together in glorious harmony. You can almost hear the click as the pieces fall into place. “The fact that this many people give a fuck, gives me hope,” beams frontman Mattie in a pause from the wonderful chaos. “Right now, we need to imagine we’re in the sixties,” he explains before ‘Mess Around’s laid back escape. Elsewhere, the message of ‘Peace & Love’ extends far beyond the track’s call to arms. From warning about crowdsurfing, “please be considerate of the small people at the front. If you’re too big to crowdsurf, don’t do it” to telling the room that anyone asking what’s the point of International Woman’s Day is a fucking idiot through the rainbow lights that soundtrack the declaration of “we’re all the same” in ‘Put Down Your Gun’, VANT are a band standing up. It’s not a passive demonstration either. Tonight’s gig is an exercise in expression and being heard. Their songs are designed to be sung, screamed and shouted about the room and there’s a power in being vocal. “We are a sleeping generation,” Mattie repeats. “What you’re showing now is that you can use your voice. Turn them into the real world.” Tonight that message feels real. It feels believable. It is attainable. VANT have been charging forward for months now but they’re finally at a point with people backing them. It’s a force to be reckoned with. “Dumb Blood. It’s time to wake up.”
VANT’s message is impossible to resist.
