VIAL – Idle Hands

Today, Minneapolis based VIAL share video for new song, “IDLE HANDS,” via the band’s own, Trout Hole Records.

Tay says, “IDLE HANDS” is a plea for affection; Limerence bottled up in a 2 and a half minute punky blast. Its desperate heartbeat is set to a driving rhythm, with a hook that grabs hold and doesn’t let go. I recorded the vocals for “IDLE HANDS” in the studio with a completely broken heart, and I think that rawness and desperation really comes through in the final product. I was really inspired by Courtney Love’s saccharine vocals, especially on tracks such as “Violet”. This song has been stuck in my head for months.

KT says, the “IDLE HANDS” music video is our take on a campy 90s comedy-horror film. Alongside our music videos for “Rough” and “DIY or Die”, this video is another installment in our collection of classic horror tropes.

VIAL is a Minneapolis-based bratpunk trio of best friends: Drummer and vocalist Katie Fischer, bassist and vocalist Taylor Kraemer, and guitarist and vocalist KT Branscom. The three joined forces via Tinder in mid-2019 and has been blazing a path for themselves since, curating a unique multi-genre amalgamation. Aggressive, yet simultaneously raw and tender: Powerful melodic vocal hooks and ear worm guitar riffs sink teeth into all listeners alike, from lifelong punk rockers to budding alternative darlings.
