NYC Deli Magazine:

"NYC band on the rise: The Vanguard

Three immigrants and a Virginian come together in NYC to make some alt/rock happen - or maybe we should call it 80s influenced alt/pop? Ther name is The Vanguard and they are promoting their new self titled EP, next show on 04.24.2008 08:30 PM - Sullivan Hall - NYC 214 Sullivan St., and then again a few weeks later at The Annex, May 10. Published on Mon, 14 Apr 2008 09:43:14"

BIOGRAPHY:

Rasko and David meet. They are teens who have recently arrived from Eastern Europe. A bond develops between them in a mix of long hair, immigration papers and music. A decade later a bearded Argentinean joins their group. Luke quickly finds in David and Rasko great music and lingering but subdued accents. The gang name themselves The Vanguard and begin playing shows. Meanwhile, a Virginian moves to NYC in search of music and expensive rent. Aaron meets the trio and seven days later the boys perform their first show together at Bar Sputnik in Brooklyn. Time passes and the group is a complete unit with a self titled EP, a music video directed by Patryk Rebisz and playing shows all over the Northeast. Recent highlights include making it onto SPIN.COM's Buzzcatcher column, pulling the night's largest draw at the Universal Motown ROCK NYC showcase on 4.11.2008 and the Deli Magazine naming The Vanguard a "NYC band on the rise".
