Though you’d never know it by listening to them, VulGarrity have a few things in common with 70’s soft rock superheroes The Carpenters. A multi-instrumental brother and sister team born and raised in Connecticut, experimenting with a number of different band lineups for years before coming to the realization that they’re better off as a duo. Having reached that realization and redefined their sound, they are continuing on their completely relentless mission to play music and have a good time. Sticking to that mission has earned them some noteworthy accomplishments over the past several years - airplay on both XM and Sirius satellite radio, as well as MTV’s hit show “Made”, nationwide tours that have brought them from East to West Coast and back again, sharing the stage with a diverse range of acts (The Misfits, Sponge, Mike Doughty, Days of the New, King’s X, The Prodigals, etc.), and so on. More importantly, they continue to create music together and capture audiences with their borderline schizophrenic, highly energetic instrument-swapping stage show and captivating demeanor. The future is bright for this pair of non-conformist, left-of-center siblings with an undying itch to put their artistic stamp on the world. As the Carpenters so famously said, “We’ve Only Just Begun”.

hey Garrity's! im psyched to hear your new tunes, weve been jamming your cd all the time since we met you up in PA during the music conference. i only hope we get to share a bill with you sometime, if youre ever coming down the east coast and get to FL youre welcome to play any of our shows, it would be a pleasure. glad all is well and keep the music coming!
Holy crap, I was not expecting progressive rock from you guys! Very nice; it kinda combines garage-punk & prog all in one. Will there be any vocals for Beefcake? It's great as it is, but I can totally envision Shawn singing his ass off while Trace just screams along in the background, heheh -- it's so good! Wow, I said all of that before I listened to Brutus. Your sound has really evolved in such a short amount of time. It seems to be more Pixies/Modest Mouse, 90's indie rock laced. Very, very fucking nice. I approve 100%. I hope Brutus has vocals too. The instrumentals are so goddamn good, guys. Love the synthetic drums. GAH -- I can't stop talking about these two songs. I want another album right now, oh oh, or an EP!? Hehe.
