Minneapolis-based bratpunk trio VIAL share their latest single and video, ‘IDLE HANDS’ — our LOUD WOMEN earworm of the week!
Composed of best friends drummer and vocalist Katie Fischer, bassist and vocalist Taylor Kraemer, and guitarist and vocalist KT Branscom, VIAL is a rising act pushing boundaries with their multi-genre sound.
‘IDLE HANDS’ combines a sludgy rhythm with lyrics you’ll want to shout along to.
“‘IDLE HANDS’ is a plea for affection; Limerence bottled up in a 2 and a half minute punky blast. Its desperate heartbeat is set to a driving rhythm, with a hook that grabs hold and doesn’t let go. I recorded the vocals for ‘IDLE HANDS’ in the studio with a completely broken heart, and I think that rawness and desperation really comes through in the final product. I was really inspired by Courtney Love’s saccharine vocals, especially on tracks such as ‘Violet’. This song has been stuck in my head for months.”
Taylor Kraemer
“The ‘IDLE HANDS’ music video is our take on a campy 90s comedy-horror film. Alongside our music videos for ‘Rough’ and ‘DIY or Die’, this video is another installment in our collection of classic horror tropes.”
