POV Vehicle on Escalators

There’s a specific kind of noise that manages to feel both ancient and aggressively new. That’s the vibe radiating from Leeds quartet Vehicle, particularly with their latest offering, “Escalators.” This isn’t just music; it’s a trip back to a time when fuzz, fuzz, and melodic chaos ruled the airwaves.

Vehicle has managed to bottle that quintessential sound of fuzzy garage rock, delivering tracks that instantly transport listeners to the era of psychedelic pop pioneers. Whether you dig the raw energy of The Mysterians or the experimental twang of the 13th Floor Elevators, there’s a deep connection here to the original architects of rock and roll.

The band is expertly honing a sound deeply rooted in the sixties, creating a kind of nostalgia-pop experience that feels both familiar and wonderfully strange. It’s music built on the perfect blend of vintage grit and modern hooks.

This sonic journey is only part of what Vehicle is bringing to the stage. They are currently gearing up for a major performance next month, taking the stage as the opening act for Sharp Pins in Manchester. This upcoming gig promises to be an explosive encounter between timeless sounds and contemporary energy.
