The Vansaders

The Vansaders are back with a rad new album.  "Caught In The Light" provides an energetic array of Folk/Punk Rock tunes.  The Asbury Park vibes are ever-present as always.  It's perfect to crank while cruising, crushing, or casually killing time.  "Caught In The Light" is a thoroughly enjoyable experience.  It varies in tempo and tone, literally striking all the right cords.  It's a highly recommended addition to anyone's late Summer soundtrack.

"Caught In The Light" was produced by Pete Steinkopf.  It is  available on vinyl and all streaming platforms.  Stream in on Spotify and check out your physical options HERE.

The Vansaders will take the stage at The Sea Hear Now Festival in Asbury Park on September 18.  The group will share the stage with Greenday, Cage The Elephant, Lost In Society, and a number of killer acts.  Learn more at searhearnow.com.
