Vasa

Vasa is a Glasgow-based instrumental post-rock/math-rock quartet known for crafting dynamic, cinematic soundscapes that blend technical precision with raw energy. Formed in 2013, the band (Sam Alexander, Blaine McGurty, Scott Coupar, and Scott Clark) became a standout in the UK's underground rock scene through releases like *Heroics* (2018) and *Colours* (2020), which showcase their signature mix of noodly guitar riffs, propulsive rhythms, and explosive crescendos. Their tracks, including fan favorites like "Everything Is Golden" and "Burst Open," thrive on tension-and-release structures that feel equally at home in basement gigs and festival stages. A favorite among fans of bands like And So I Watch You From Afar (whom they’ve toured with), Vasa’s music balances complex musicianship with anthemic, sweat-drenched energy that’s made them a must-see live act.
