Upcoming Releases

It's been three years since Florida pop-punk outfit, You Vandal, released their album, 'Pretend I Don't Exist,' but you won't have to wait much longer as the band gears up to release 'this is where people come to die.' With a new home at the Florida-based, Euclid Place Records, 'this is where people come to die' delivers thirteen tracks of undeniably catchy earworms that will be stuck in your head for months. Look no further than their new single, "feeling zen -or- covered in shit", that embraces comfort in chaos. "This song is about the calm before a relationship-based The Perfect Storm. We're about to metaphorically be Clooney & Wahlberg dying at sea (spoiler alert), but there's simultaneously a comfort in knowing it's coming and simply accepting it. Being completely at peace in a shitstorm is a curious feeling, and leaning into that disconnect seemed like a fun idea for the song and the video," states Eric Cannon (guitar/vocals).

You Vandal is not for everyone. Too pop for the punk kids. Too punk for the pop kids. Inspired by an era of “emo” bands actively trying not to be labeled “emo” bands, too far gone now to meet any contemporary definitions of the term anyway. You Vandal somehow manages to impeccably weave all of their influences together to simultaneously create something for everyone, and nothing for anybody. But the people who get it, get it – and those are the connections that keep the band going. You Vandal has been around longer than they like to talk about (it's rude to ask a band it's age), but they'll continue gleefully toiling about under the radar for as long as anyone will indulge their niche brand of grubby pop and offbeat pop-culture references.

this is where people come to die is You Vandal's fourth full-length LP, coming out on Florida's own Euclid Place Records. With thirteen songs in roughly thirty minutes, the Gainesville band is set on trimming the fat and packing a punky punch. Label rep and Bay Area emo hero Vic Alvarez says “Euclid Place is honored to release such an amazing record by a band we've looked up to for so long. You Vandal plays the kind of slick, smart, emotive punk rock I would've listened to on the bus home from school in 10th grade.”
