If you're new to Vanbot, start with 'Ringing' and 'When My Heart Breaks'. Those two songs frame what they do best.
Vanbot's track 'Ringing' became something of an anthem for listeners, and songs like 'When My Heart Breaks' and 'Bad Day' show their range from ballads to rock.

Vanbot formed in 2003 with members from classical, jazz, and rock backgrounds. Their debut album 'The Echo of Silence' came out in 2007, followed by albums like 'The Awakening' in 2010 and 'Transcendence' in 2013.
