Minneapolis’ VIAL have just released a new single and video, “Embryo”. The track is in response to the US Supreme Court overturning the landmark decision Roe v. Wade, putting the status of abortion rights back to the states, many of which are antagonistic towards said rights.
As such, the band will be donating all proceeds from the single to the Gender Justice and National Network of Abortion Funds to assist in their mission to protect reproductive rights.
VIAL’s most recent album, Loudmouth, dropped 30 Jul 2022 via Get Better Records. You can check out the single/video below, and visit the VIAL Bandcamp site to grab a copy of the new single, or hear more of their music.
The band will also be playing some gigs in the near future. So why not check them out live if they’re going to be in your area?
