Ummm so we didn’t play any shows in 2021 either. Sorry. Things look better for 2022, though. We’re still working on new music, too. See you again, soon? – chris
- “Cancel Culture” out now!
The third of our monthly singles, “Cancel Culture,” is out now! “Cancel Culture” is a punk manifesto challenging societal decay. The 20-year-old band shouts, “Come for the culture, stay for the profits.” Lyrics dissect the commodification of memories, where khakis and clipboards build towers on minimum wage ruins. It’s a rallying cry against the idea that hard work alone prevails. “Eat, consume, we really are all doomed” resonates as a punk anthem on a sinking ship—a high-energy track questioning the cost of progress. 
Single number two in our monthly singes series, “Downfall Collective,” is out now! - New Vamps Site for 2021?!
Holy shit. We didn’t play a single show in 2020. That’s so weird. We did, however, demo a few songs, and we’re slowly making progress on a future full-length album. We’re also working on re-vamping (get it?) our website for 2021. Cool! Nothing much else going on vamps-wise. We will see you again with new music when it’s safe and responsible to do so. Cool. Later. – chris
