Next month, Minneapolis power trio VIAL will drop their third album burnout, and all signs point to a very good record. We've already posted their early songs "just fine," "ur dad," and "falling short," and now they've followed all those tracks with a new one called "apathy."
The new VIAL jam is a big, surging alt-rock rager with big riffs and bigger hooks. It does not sound apathetic. Instead, it sounds like one of those mid-'90s major-label singles that doesn't quite fit into any particular category -- a power-pop band trying to go grunge, or a grunge band trying to go power-pop. VIAL have also announced a North American tour, and you can hear "apathy" and check out their tour dates below.
