"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 tackle this month's daft queries.
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 come from Planet Earth. It seems an obvious statement, but that mantra represents everything the band stands for. They believe in unity, that our s...
Mattie & Co. are on a massive headline tour around the UK.
They are Vant and they’re from planet earth. They are loud and rattly rock music that shakes the rafters of the venue you stand in. They take on Reading, yet again. And they take it to another level this year. ‘The Answer’ is a lyrical tumble, where ‘Welcome to the Wonderful World of Berners Lee’ is just straight up great. The thing about Vant is that even when their songs last around a minute, they pack it with the intensity of a full live show. Each is a charged assault on the audience, even when they offer a lighter reprieve – it’s all just a ruse until it kicks off again. When they yell “Let’s do this” before launching into a punk onslaught, you bet you will be doing it. Whatever it is. ‘Karma Seeker’ is about enjoying the present, and, you know, that’s hits the nail smack on the head. They're growing bit by bit. They're focussing on the now, and it looks rather good for Vant, who more than hold their own against some big clashes. They're just bloody brilliant live. Simple as.
