VANCRYNES VAN Walkerville VIC VANCRYNES is the musical alter-ego of Angelo Saridis, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from South Gippsland, Australia. His music spans the genre spectrum with roots in early punk and post punk and a solid grounding in 90s alternative rock, his music fuses these influences with a deliberate intention. Imagine Paul Dempsey and Tim Rogers had a love child with Black Francis and Kim Gordon as the godparents and Johny Marr as the favourite uncle...somewhere in that mix you will find VANCRYNES Exploring themes that are predominantly a shared introspective reflection, there is a happy sad dynamic and a nostalgic sensibility to all the songs. 'I'm trying to share what's anxiety provoking for adults...and show that none of us really have our shit together...but at times there's something beautiful about admitting our failings and insecurities'. VANCRYNES is guitar driven, sweat soaked and authentic which at times will make the listener chuckle and other times give you a reason to reflect. It's still very much punk rock at heart but delivered with an equal portion of sensitivity and recklessness. VANCRYNES is committed to capturing the immediacy of the songwriting process and moves quickly to capture songs as the moments of creation are fleeting 'I just want to get a general sense of the song recorded and move on to the next one. If the songwriting is strong enough, then I hope it will carry through the more casual production approach. My production is very loose and I will never even contemplate something like autotune'. Keeping it fresh and committed to the creative practice of songwriting, VANCRYNES sticks to a blistering regime of writing, producing and releasing with more than 100 songs completed in 2022 and that frenetic pace continues into 2023 and now 2024. 'To quote the famous philosopher Lloyd Christmas...I can't stop once I've started....it stings' VANCRYNES’s tracks Overly Concerned by VANCRYNES published on 2024-04-25T04:50:28Z Happy Sad by VANCRYNES published on 2024-04-21T04:39:50Z Closed Circuit Vision by VANCRYNES published on 2024-04-07T01:43:48Z Cube by VANCRYNES published on 2024-04-04T03:24:02Z Tunnels by VANCRYNES published on 2024-04-02T05:34:37Z MAWG by VANCRYNES published on 2024-03-24T02:37:02Z Speak Softly by VANCRYNES published on 2024-02-04T01:54:18Z Speak Softly Instrumental (Demo) by VANCRYNES published on 2024-02-01T11:18:08Z Ruler by VANCRYNES published on 2024-01-24T06:12:00Z Sting by VANCRYNES published on 2024-01-14T05:39:33Z
