The Vancouver rock trio known as the
Vidos have released their latest EP record, “All the Time.” The
EP is composed of five original tracks for an approximate total
listening time of 15 minutes. The album has been proudly published as
an independent release entirely without support of the corporate
music industry. Upbeat, poppy, raw and quirky, “All the Time” by
the Vidos has everything fans of indie rock look for, and for which
fans of indie rock keep coming back.
The Vidos cite as main musical
influences such bands as the Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Foo
Fighters and Sonic Youth. Their official Facebook page also gives
mention to the Vaccines, the White Stripes, Weezer, Marilyn Monroe,
Radiohead, and Smashing Pumpkins. While this amalgam may seem
unlikely and varied at first glance, a consistent thread appears in
terms of imaginative tones, general irreverence and clever
songwriting throughout. Each of these sonic attributes is clearly
evident in “All the Time” by the Vidos, and audiophiles in the
Vancouver area have been taking notice.
Describing their own sound and
character in a few words, the Vidos write, “Bass, guitar, vocals
and drum skins as loud as they can go, sometimes a little louder than
that, even. We provide an unrelentingly energetic show and write
really upbeat 'n' catchy songs about girls, death, and food. We're
here to bring the funk back.”
Exuberant, youthful and eternally
energetic, the Vidos list among their favorite things Mario Kart,
“(awful)” movies, hockey, art, exotic cheeses, tetherball, and
the color orange. Their bizarre collective sense of humor is integral
to the overall Vidos experience, one which affects their music from
its writing to its performance, and from its performance to its
recording. One track from their previous LP record, “2012,”
includes vocals recorded through a tiny microphone implanted in a
toaster, into which their singer projected his voice.
Formed in 2011, the band's live videos
drape across the Internet like a blanket and can be viewed from an
assortment of websites including their official band site (link
provided below). Live interviews on public radio stations are also
available for listening.
“All the Time” by the Vidos is
available online worldwide beginning July 25, 2014, and directly from
the band's official website now. Get in early.
