Savannah, Georgia quintet VATICAN, recently named one of the handful of bands revitalizing the underground, have signed to 1126 Records. In conjunction, they’ve also released a new single, “Thirty-One (Vince) Staples”.
“”Thirty-One Staples’ is about revisiting my childhood home through a lucid dream,” said singer Jonathan Whittle. “Observing my past and witnessing an event which put me in the hospital for two months with 31 staples to the head and having to relearn all motor skills. I came out stronger thanks to the discipline I gained from having built myself back and learning from that experience. Ultimately, it’s about diving back into your mind where the worst moments of your life happened: remembering who you are, what you’ve gone through, and that pain is truly temporary.”
In the meantime, Vatican will hit the road with The Acacia Strain later this month and has confirmed several festival appearances in 2019. All confirmed dates are below.
