Biography
Vanna wasted no time, following their formation in recording their debut EP, “This Will Be Our Little Secret”. It solidified the band’s local following, and found itself in the hands of an A&R at Epitaph Records. As of November 15th 2005, the band signed to Epitaph Records. Their first release under Epitaph came in the form of an EP “The Search Party Never Came”, released on June 6th 2006, following the release, the band toured until winter, which is when the band headed into the studio in Seattle, Washington to record their debut full-length album. They named it “Curses” and it was released on April 24th 2007. The band embarked on the routine of touring, promoting as they travel around the country and then re-enter the studio for their following full-length album, “A New Hope”. It was released on March 24th 2009, and it reached number 31 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. They lead with the promotion of the album with a track called “Safe To Say” which they made a music video for. Following a summer tour with A Static Lullaby, the band parted ways with Epitaph, and signed to Artery Recordings in August 2010.
They returned to recording EPs, and released one entitled “The Honest Hearts”. It was released on October 12th 2010, whilst the band settled into the new refuge that is Artery Recordings. They announced at the beginning of January that they would go to Glow in the Dark Studios to record a brand new album called “And They Came Baring Bones”. The band turned the album around very quickly, releasing it on June 21st 2011. Due to turmoil between members, and a couple of line-up changes, the next year became a tricky one, but reinvented themselves slightly with the album “The Few and the Far Between” which was released on March 19th 2013.
Live reviews
Davey Muise, lead vocalist of Vanna, stands in the middle of the crowd, microphone held between his tattooed hands, and speaks to his fans. He appeals to their individuality, encouraging them not to give up, no matter how hard life gets, and telling them they are not alone. He follows this motivational speech with a song about acceptance. As he sings he stands surrounded by his fans, offstage, and this proximity to those who idolize him brings him closer to the audience both physically and mentally. His proximity makes the concert feel personal, a quality many appreciate. Vanna is an American hardcore band formed in 2004 by Nicholas Lambert and Evan Pharmakis, two guitarists who were both in college at the time. They brought together a singer, drummer, and bassist and recorded The Search Party Never Came, their fist EP. In 2007, they released their first album, Curses. After some changes in line up, they went on to release their second album, A New Hope, in 2009. This album was listed No. 31 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. They followed that album with three more between 2011 and 2014. Vanna not only produce great music, they also know how to put on a meaningful and individual show. They appeal to their fans in a way not many musicians can, and that makes them well worth seeing live.
