Minneapolis’ VIAL magically met each other through a Tinder post in 2019, broughttogether by a shared love of90’spunk, indie,and grunge.Launching into their home scenewith theirdebutGrow Upthey quickly became local favorites with everyone fromTheCurrenttoMusic In Minnesota.Signing to LA’s Get Better Records in 2021, their follow upfull length,Loudmouth,was an evolution of their indie-pop and alt-rock beginnings butbegan to hint atother leanings, especially in the tracks Ego Death and the fan-favorite PissPunk. A little less reflection on the past and a little more anger at the future.Even though their thirdrelease,Burnout,retained the whimsy, the fiercer side of thingskept creeping in. Tales of betrayal and teen drama were also being matched by a hardnessreflective of our fractured society.With their 4th record,HELLHOUND, the gloves have come completely off. There’sa weetrace of the jovial in the LP’s title track/interlude but the rest of the record is one shredderafter another-deceit, revenge, frustration and vitriol are nailed incessantly into the tracksfrom start to finish. Produced by Martin Cooke (Death CabFor Cutie, Of Monsters AndMen, Destroy Boys), the LP is a powerhouse that draws from vintage punk, classic metaland all in between. Anyone who’s crossed them is a target and asking to get cut. FirstsingleCREEP SMOOTHIEpulls no punches in calling outdisrespect fromthe worst kindsof menand would-be’s alike.IDLE HANDSchannels the rage inward. Overall the record isa 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 genderequality and abortion rights to supporting indigenous arts and refugee aid. The bandconstantly helps on a material level, funneling income directly to these groups. Manyartists pay lip service to making the world a better place. VIAL put their money where theirmouths are and their steel toes where the sun don’t shine
