VANT unveil video for ‘Peace & Love’

They’re currently out on the road supporting You Me At Six, and now VANT have revealed their new video for ‘Peace & Love’.

The quartet, who offered up the track a few weeks back, have explained that the song itself was completed in the wake of the Paris attacks last November, and aims to show the power of the title’s subject matter itself.

“We finished writing ‘Peace & Love’ in the wake of the Paris attacks,” the band’s Mattie Vant said in a press release. “Atrocities like these are taking place worldwide on a daily basis, but it’s only when something happens so close to home that it truly grabs the full attention of our society. We live on a planet that has forgotten what the words ‘Peace & Love’ mean and what they stood for in the 60s and 70s. The power of the peace movement changed the world forever but our unity is starting to slip. ‘Peace & Love’ have become throwaway words, fashion statements, cheap symbols that have lost their value. We need to reconnect with their true meaning because, more than ever, we are living in a time that really does need ‘Peace & Love’.”

Reflecting this, the band’s new clip contains footage filmed in Kiev and Amman earlier this month, and shows glimpses of strength and friendship within scenes of conflict.
