VANT are a British rock band formed in 2014 by frontman and songwriter Mattie Vant. In 2015 they signed to Parlophone Records.[3]

Background

The band came together in London, while Mattie was working at Dalston venue, Birthdays.[5] Originally from Sunderland, Mattie has played in various bands, formulating the style for VANT whilst living in Brighton.[7]

A lot of VANT's lyrical themes deal with political issues, with Mattie citing inspiration from global issues; "My concerns are worldwide things. It’s not strictly centred around the UK - it’s wars, global conflict, global warming.".[7] With this philosophy, VANT prefer to refer to their origin as 'Planet Earth' - rather than associate with a particular nationality. Of this issue, Mattie says "I don’t believe in borders, I was born on Planet Earth".[8] This is evidenced in the lyrics to 'Birth Certificate'.[9]

VANT toured throughout 2015 and have made appearances with Royal Blood,[10] toured on DIY Magazine's NEU tour with The Big Moon and InHeaven [11] and appeared at several festivals through the summer, including Reading and Leeds Festivals,[12] Secret Garden Party[13] and Dot To Dot Festival. They started 2016 with an appearance on BBC Radio 1's Future Festival and have dates booked across the UK & Europe, leading into festivals in the summer of 2016.[14]

The songs 'The Answer', 'Parking Lot' and 'Fly By Alien' all received premieres on BBC Radio 1 as Annie Mac's 'Hottest Record in the World'.[15][16][17]
