Ritual Lament

by Vanguard Party

This story starts at the end...

Each song represents a different part of our lives: from questioning the status quo, to celebrating the possibilities of life, to mourning the ineviability of death.

Why was 3/4 of Vanguard Party at a movie premier tonight? Find out later this week.... #durham #autorepair #altrock #progrock #artrock
Comment to help us decide which lyrics should be shirts. We've been talking about how to share the message of our music in deeper more interactive ways. It would make our shirts cost more but I feel like it would be awesome to have a shirt for every song?! ---------- This lyric is from "Feel it" on our Cycles In The Sky EP
Last night a lot of people asked about our latest release. We decided to not create a CD because well who actually has a CD player anymore. You can listen to it all online. Check it out...share it...burn your own CDs if you want. Lol. #Repost Ritual Lament, is out now on all of the popular streaming and download sites! check it out!!!
This obscurred snapshot most captured how I remember last night. A loud, hazy, moody cave of rock. Thanks @infinite.jes for capturing.
What an amazing show we had last night at @thecavenc with The Ramonas and Rapture Clause and all our fans who drove from all over the triangle to see us. We really appreciate it. Special thanks to @jaimeradar for the photos. (More to come!)
