“Chad Price was the third singer of Descendents offshoot ALL in the ’90s, following Dave Smalley and Scott Reynolds, and after that he fronted the alt-country band Drag the River and led a folky solo project, but he finally returned to punk in 2018 with his new band A Vulture Wake (whose bassist Dave Klein was in later lineups of Black Flag and Screeching Weasel). (They) are now gearing up for another new EP that kind of combines the energy of ALL with the earthier feel of Drag the River.”- BrooklynVegan

A Vulture Wake rages forth through 2022 with their second E.P. of the year! ‘Animal’, out Sept. 9, is a progressive powerhouse of hooks & riffs – 5 songs continuing the band’s campaign to “Do No Harm; Take No Shit” while taking aim at the powers that be, inner demons, and a bleak future on this dying planet.

AVW now offers solutions to the issues raised in their previous releases – commit violence, give in, leave the planet, sleep? The choice is ours.

‘Animal’ follows the critically-acclaimed and fan-embraced ‘Kingdom’ E.P. – Also Produced, Engineered & Mixed by Mike Kennerty (Direct Hit!, Red City Radio, Copyrights).

The new single “Shadow Of A Common Fear” is a sparse-yet-pulsing hard rock gem which brings to life the feeling of a cold and desolate landscape. Set in a world of authoritarian overlords and mass uprisings, there’s danger around every corner in what is, unfortunately, an accurate portrait of human existence. Come for the rock, stay for the disturbing yet provocative tale.
