Nomadic punk trio Vivian K will officially release their sophomore album Verses via Creep Records (The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Jank).<\/p>\n
Composed of Daniel Harris (guitar\/vocals), Cass Jones (bass\/vocals) and Jesse Cooley (drums\/vocals) the band\u2019s sound is more accurately described in adjectives than genre tags. Spazzy, mathy, emotional and poetic, Vivian K\u2019s sound is accented by finger-tapped guitars, sung\/scream vocals (shared by all three members) and cathartic drumming.<\/p>\n
Speaking on their style Cooley said \u201cwe consider ourselves an emo band but we originally came from Orlando, FL where it\u2019s a really big tech-metal scene. We have a lot of friends in that scene, all of our gear is practically hand-me-downs from metal bands and our biggest shows have been in that scene. As a result it helped to push our technical side as musicians as well as our energy level as a live band.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of the significance of the album\u2019s title Cooley also revealed \u201cour material on this album seems to eschew the standard verse\/chorus structure. The songs are more story-oriented and focus on lengthy verse parts, so the title certainly fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Believers in the DIY aspect of punk, Verses painted album artwork was contributed by Jones and the band\u2019s relentless tour schedule is mainly self-booked. Vivian K has crisscrossed the nation playing venues, art spaces, basements and outdoor fests.<\/p>\n
Track List:
\n1. Friends Are Dangerous
\n2. Lethologica
\n3. Peace Out
\n4. Love is Evil
\n5. Earl
\n6. Are Great Secrets Being Held?
\n7. Goodbye (For Now)
