The Van Daniels are a 4 piece indie rock n roll band from plymouth made up of Chris (guitar/vox), Ben (guitar/b.vox), Matty (drums/b.vox) and Jonny (bass). Their music is influenced by bands such as The Beatles, Supergrass, The White Stripes and Blur creating a quick, quirky, crunchy blend of indie rock n roll. They have toured up and down the length of britain and played a host of festivals across the south west of england, such as Surfstock, Gold Coast Ocean Fest, The Masked Ball, Plymouth Volksfest, Run To The Sun and Maker Fest. The Van Daniels have also played alongside and supported bands such as One Night Only, General Fiasco, The Sunshine Underground, The Metros, Them Is Me and The Runners. In November 2008 The Van Daniels entered the legendary Sawmills Studios in cornwall, with inhouse engineer Tom Joyce (Muse, Supergrass, Razorlight, The Holloways) and recorded 3 new demos.
The band are now busy writing new songs and aquiring computer equipment to begin recording their debut album.

'Groovy post Brit Pop with a slightly angular Strokesey guitar, a contemporary approach to Supergrass like material…Plymouth band with a jaunty if acerbic and innately cool vision of the rock pop beast' BUGBEAR MARCH 2009
