Not many Australian bands have had the type of ascent as The VANNS have. Cutting their teeth on the live circuit since 2015, The VANNS have proven themselves early as leaders of the pack in modern Australia rock music. The release of The VANNS’ debut album Through The Walls in 2019 marked an arrival of something fresh and new in Australian music with Jimmy Vann (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Cameron Little (lead guitar, vocals, keys), Tom Switlek (bass) and Andrew Banovich’s (drums) partnership. The album struck a chord with fans and industry alike, scoring The VANNS a lucrative triple j Feature Album placement, as well as the delivery of an impactful Like A Version cover of Bon Iver’s ‘Hey Ma’, which now has over 7 million streams, and went on to land at #32 on the Hottest 100 Like A Version countdown. Sold out shows at home and overseas followed, tours with the likes of The Kooks, The Wombats, and Inhaler and more, and their second album, ‘Last Of Your Kind’, which debuted at #8 on the Australian charts and would again see the band claim another Feature Album spot and play to an overflowing Splendour In The Grass tent. The VANNS are due to release their third album in 2025.
