Edit history

THE VORS make noise with guitars. Is it rock? Sure. Is it indie? Maybe. Is it music? Most of the time. It’s fast, it’s loud, it’s got melodies that sneak up on you and riffs that hit like a half-brick in a sock. Don’t overthink it — they don’t. Formed somewhere near Bondi after too much sun and not enough supervision, THE VORS emerged fully formed, like a bad idea that worked out way too well. They sound like the smell of burnt toast, coconut sunscreen, and broken promises. No one’s really sure how they got here, least of all them. But they do know one thing…they don’t play music — they unleash it, like a possum in a bin. Peter Martignago hits the drums like they owe him money. Ed Heerey keeps the low end tight. Davor Pavlovic and Chris Franklin trade guitar riffs and vocals like two old drunks in a bar fight. The band have been on a creative tear over the last 12 months, with a string of single releases on Bandcamp and across streaming services. The singles all rip and tear with punk rock swagger, garage rock abandon, and with an infectious indie rock sensibility.
