Vant’s ‘The Answer’ is 2 minutes and 48 seconds of blissful guitar music packed full to the brim with energy. The track is explosive. It displays multiple features found in any knock-out punk song: plenty of punchy guitar parts, killer vocals and a confrontational chorus in the form of ‘won’t you give me the answer?’. The song begins with a single guitar which makes a brief distorted sound before the bass and drums enter.
After this near-minute long climactic introduction, a jagged guitar riff erupts creating an intense and powerful wall of sound; it’s not difficult to see why the song has found its way onto the prestigious BBC Radio 1 ‘In New Music We Trust’ playlist. In response to recent concerns about how rock and roll is in need of saving Vant have risen out of the shadows and provided us with ‘The Answer’.
