About the Artist

The Vivid is a Garage-Punk/Shoegaze band from Melbourne, FL. We draw influence from key moments throughout rock history, taking cues from the bold onslaught of proto punk and noise rock, to the raw and characteristically daring innovation of 90's post...

Discover: The Vivid by Clifton Watts
THE INBOX GIVETH: Sometimes something cool just lands in your lap. The Vivid is a three-piece outfit hailing from Melbourne, FL. They released the EP, Don’t Wake The Neighbors, in November. It’s an exercise in post-rock with elements of fuzzy garage (e.g., “Aquaphobe”), explosive punk (e.g., “Zero”), and thoughtful shoegaze (e.g., “The One From The Park”) material. ”Riser” closes out the EP and combines bits of all three elements. It’s hard to believe that Vivid produced and recorded the EP–it’s so well produced and recorded. Get Don’t Wake The Neighbors as a free download on Bandcamp.

The Vivid - "The One From The Park" by Marco Pitino
If you were too young to remember the very early 90s, this song here, something about this song that captures the feeling of a young grunge band starting out. It’s hard to explain, but this song smells rank like 1991. Man, I can’t put it into words. It just FEELS like 1991. Like it sounds like an early Smashing Pumpkins song. Like early early.

Indie Band Spotlight The Vivid by Jared Thompson
The Vivid are from Melbourne, Florida. Cory Young (guitarist) formed the band in 2010 as a cover band of artists they liked. Now, in 2014, they’ve played around our local town and a few surrounding cities many times and released our first EP, “Don’t Wake The Neighbors.” ‘The thing that attracted people to us at first glance is that Cory and I are both southpaws; we play guitar left-handed. It’s a strange sight when most other bands are all right-handed. We got asked about it a lot a few years ago and some people even referred to us as “the left-hand band”

New Year/New Music: The Vivid by Matthew Weller
On track, "The One From The Park": "The guitar at the song’s zenith fits the atmosphere perfectly, and then recedes back into the meek plucks that started the song off." On track, "Zero": "Don’t Wake The Neighbors’ third track is my favorite on release. The bass line is dirty. It feels like it was crafted in a sewer, cloaking the whole song in sludge."
