Vanna – “And They Came Baring Bones”

Boston, MA band Vanna have been blowing up the hardcore scene ever since their second full-length, A New Hope, came out. Thanks in large to this album the group had a tight touring schedule and began to amass a growing following. Now the band is back with a follow up to that highly popular release, And They Came Baring Bones, out via Artery Recordings.

Yet again, Vanna have produced their well-known blend of pop rock and hardcore, a combination that leads to vocal switches between loud shouting and mellow singing. What I like about the group, when compared to other post hardcore bands, is how they don’t play around with breakdowns as much. They stick to straight forward rock. Alongside these energized tracks they’ve also included softer songs like “Scarlet Shroud” which focus more on the mellow vocals and instrumentals.

And They Came Baring Bones I would consider a gate way album for any rock fans that want to dabble in hardcore. Vanna have yet again created music that will satisfy old fans and probably afford them another tight touring schedule.
