Melbourne’s The Vandas have finally completed their long-awaited debut album, ‘SLOW BURN’. 'Slow Burn’ is honest, raw, heart-worn, and devoid of pretence or tired detachment. Those familiar with The Vandas will recognise their classic melodies, barbed lyrics, and truly Australian sound throughout the record. But this time the delivery hits harder, the songs cut deeper.
Great art is rarely offered from a place of comfort. The Vandas’ scars are there for all to hear on ‘Slow Burn’.
It’s taken a while for The Vandas to get to this point. Despite expectations, borne of two well-received EPs, and a loyal live fanbase of punters and peers gathered everywhere from the corner pub to the big stage with the likes of You Am I, The Drones, and The Beasts of Bourbon, come 2007, The Vandas were drifting. An album was past due but the wheels were barely turning, scars still not faded.
A chance meeting on the factory floor where Chris Altmann and Mikey Madden were workmates with the GOD, Hoss and Tendrils frontman, saw handshakes exchanged and studio bookings made. The record’s aim was to be true to The Vandas’ greatest strength: playing live. Right down to the choice of their favoured rehearsal studio, Soundpark in
In one long day, they laid down fifteen songs intended as demo’s for the album proper. But the performances and sounds were so visceral, so right for the songs – so right for The Vandas – that thoughts of tempting fate with ‘proper’ recordings were soon nixed. After two more days at Soundpark in the summer of ’08, followed by two weeks mixing in glorious analogue at Newmarket Studios, the record was done. David Bromley’s striking original paintings complete the album, providing a fittingly sardonic visual.
The album’s title, ‘Slow Burn’, comes from the final song put to tape, written between sessions and recorded in two takes. An apt title for a record that sees promises finally kept.

The Panics are unique. They have been allowed to grow and blossom. And blossom they have. This bunch of songs has immediate appeal and lasting beauty. "Hopefully it will make people raise an eyebrow. We didn't want to just give Panics fans something they are used to.
