Mattie Vant and co. combine guts with raw energy, ahead of playing DIY Presents the Neu Tour 2015.

VANT ask all the questions on new single ‘THE ANSWER’

Here’s the thing with VANT - try finding another new band this willing to put themselves on the line, this determined to stir things up, however brash their delivery might be and however many people might end up getting hurt.

As part of our DIY Presents the Neu Tour 2015 - taking place in October - they’re one third of an unstoppable triple-bill of the UK’s best new bands. And they’ve just taken their strongest step yet with the screaming and snippet ‘THE ANSWER’.

The track’s been given a first play by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 as a Hottest Record, and it’s premiering on DIY below. As with everything else Mattie Vant delivers, it tackles big topics. This time, he’s targeting media shitstorms and the UK’s responsibility when it comes to world issues. Submerged in fuzz, he could be singing about anything, but then the lyrics pierce through: “You’re from England? Well hello there, my brother. Keep sucking my dick, while my friend fucks your mother.” Like we said - VANT don’t do things in halves.

Listen to ‘THE ANSWER’ below. It’s released this Friday, 24th July. Check out full dates for the DIY Presents the Neu Tour 2015 below the player, where VANT are joined by The Big Moon and INHEAVEN.

Tickets are available now via gigsandtours.com. Tickets are priced from £5 and age restrictions apply.
