Four-piece garage act The Van T's released their latest EP back in July, and are keeping up the good work in the form of new single "Fun Garçon".
The Glasgow band, made up of Hannah (guitar, vocals) and Chloe Van Thompson (guitar, vocals), Joanne Forbes(bass) and Shaun Hood (drums), have a sound which recalls the early days of The Raveonettes, but balance any thoughts of darkness with a youthful exhuberance and a hint of bubblegum playfulness.
"Fun Garçon" has overdriven guitars drenched in reverb, booming drums and enough punch in Hannah and Chloe's vocals to know this is a band not to be messed with.
The single will be released on 25 November via Bloc+Music.
