Whether delivering scorching performances in basement house parties or dazzling crowds at legendary Toronto venues such as The Horseshoe Tavern and Lee’s Palace, The Vaniers have become a staple in the Toronto underground music scene with a reputation for high-octane shows and catchy tunes. 2019 was a breakout year of sorts for the band, seeing the release of five singles along with a tour of the Toronto circuit. Their debut EP “Who Are You To Say?” was then released on March 19th, 2020. In 2021, the boys recorded their full-length LP with producer Nixon Boyd of <a href="spotify:artist:4eNWAiPUXRaPmyWSc9glM3" data-name="Hollerado">Hollerado</a> titled ‘All Together Now!’ which was released June 3rd, 2022. This was followed up with a sold out album release show at Horseshoe Tavern the next night. In 2023, the band started to work on their follow up LP. They released five singles ‘Faces&#39;, ‘Charlie’, ‘This Dog’, ‘Painted Town’, and ‘Pigeons’. ‘So Bad, So Good’ was released May 1st 2025.
