ABOUT VIAL
VIAL is a Minneapolis-based indie punk trio of best friends: Drummer Katie Fischer (she/they), bassist Taylor Kraemer (she/they), and guitarist KT Branscom (they/them). The trio joined forces via Tinder in mid-2019 and has been blazing a path for themselves since, curating a unique multi-genre amalgamation. Indie rock meets punk influence in soaring melodic hooks ready to sink teeth into all listeners alike, from lifelong punk rockers to budding indie darlings.
Bite marks are left behind by tongue-in-cheek lyrical quips that only burn hotter on the live stage, where devoted fans have been clamoring for more VIAL despite the band only recently beginning to nationally tour with and support acts such as FIDLAR, HUNNY, and Jhariah.
The jury’s in: The insatiable hunger for VIAL’s fresh indie and punk blend after their debut LP LOUDMOUTH was received with high praise will be plentifully satisfied with their steaming-hot sophomore record burnout, out now via Get Better Records.
“VIAL know the art of writing a catchy hook and the trick of delivering it at 1.5x speed—and they make good on both throughout. ‘burnout’ is a smash and grab... [the album] will get your blood pumping like you’re present for the real thing.”
