An energetic bounce and sing-along-ready vocals are two of the most immediately noticeable qualities to Broadcaster's brand of rock music. The Long Island, NY-based 3-piece have shown remarkable consistency in their output without releasing the same song twice. The result is something almost canonical--their discography is only a few releases long, but there is a well-worn feel to the music, a blend of modern punk and indie rock with a pleasant helping of 90's college rock influence. Comparisons to bands like Jawbreaker, Superchunk, and The Weakerthans are inevitable but favorable. Their most recent release, Tightrope Walker, recorded with J Robbins, is a concise, fully-realized display of the catchy, fuzzy energy that Broadcaster have made their own.

"The Vansaders walk the line of rowdy and refined. Their bourbon-soaked blend of punk, country and straight-up rock ‘n’ roll is the type of sound that’d easily be the soundtrack to any heavy night of drinking at your local dive bar with a group of close pals as well as those lonesome nights of drinking by yourself.

Their music has moments of heart and heartbreak, of celebration and solitude. It’s the type of music Mike Ness would raise a shot to while shooting a look of “hey these guy are good” over to Johnny Cash. And in today’s alt-rock musical culture which keeps racing towards becoming the second coming of New Wave; listening to The Vansaders is both refreshing and exciting." -Pop-Break.com/
