aaamusic | On 06, May 2012
‘Done For Desire’ is the debut album by Damn Vandals on 23rd July 2012, following on from the highly acclaimed ‘Beautiful Mind’ EP, which garnered passionate support across radio and print media, including being made Shaun Keaveny’s ‘Record of the Week’ on his BBC6 Music Breakfast Show. It’s produced by Julian Simmons, whose credits include Midlake, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Ed Sheeran, Guillemots, and Goldheart Assembly.
The deep and powerful distinctive vocals of Jack Kansas have drawn comparisons with David Bowie, Mark Lanegan, Jim Morrison and Matt Berninger of The National. He stands atop the bridge of a mighty vessel steered by the rhythm section of Adam Kilemore Gardens (bass) and Chris Christianson (drums), while Frank Pick’s soaring, haunting guitar sits in the Crows Nest navigating via the stars.
The band will headline at BBC Chris Hawkins’ famous Wagon All Dayer @ The Queens Head, Islington today (6th May) with guest DJ and host Tom Ravenscroft.
Live dates with more to be confirmed soon:
6th May Headline Act at Chris Hawkins’ Wagon All Dayer @ The Queens Head, Islington
