Dumb Blood is the debut studio album by indie rock band Vant. The album, produced by Sam Miller, was released on 17 February 2017 by Parlophone.[2] A deluxe edition of the album was simultaneously released featuring tracks from the band's "Karma Seeker" EP, B-sides and previously un-released songs.

Background

Vant formed in London in 2014. The band met in a Death Metal Club in London where they had moved to pursue music.[3] The band took heavy influence from global issues such as "equality, education and the environment".[4] Front man Mattie aimed to make music with messages behind them feeling that it was lost in Rock music and something only found in Hip-Hop.[5] He cites The Clash, Neil Young, Nina Simone, M.I.A. and Bob Dylan as artists who inspired him cause they stood for what they believed in.[4] The band self-released their debut single, the double A side, "Parasite/Do You Know Me?" on 22 April 2015.[6] Shortly after its release the band signed to Parlophone Records and received extensive airplay from BBC Radio 1, XFM and Amazing Radio. Zane Lowe made the band his "Next Hype" and played "Parasite" 3 times in one show.[7] Their following singles "The Answer", "Parking Lot", "Fly-By Alien", "Karma Seeker" and "Peace & Love" were all debuted on BBC Radio 1 as Annie Mac's 'Hottest Record in the World'. "Dumb Blood" was announced on Annie Mac's show after the premiere of "Peace & Love" on 11 October 2016.[8]
