The Vansaders
“Standstill”
One of the things that found-
ing Vansaders singer-songwrit-
er-guitarist Doug Zambon is
awesome at is writing about
regret in a relatable way that
makes you realize you’re not
the only schmuck in the pack.
It’s a very cathartic approach to
music with a release of emotion
lyrically rooted in the songwrit-
ing of Bruce Springsteen and
Johnny Cash, as well as with
a punk zeal cut from the edge
of Social Distortion and The
Clash. On this nine-song LP,
they trade in punk for acoustic
Celtic-Americana that increases
the intimacy of seven songs
previously released on an LP
and two of the band’s three
EPs, as well as two covers.
