We are thrilled to announce Vacations as one of our newest family members! They are the local sweethearts of Newcastle, Australia. Led by front man/emailing enthusiast Campbell Burns, their take on guitar pop music has won over a devoted fan base in their hometown, and overseas.
A part of the No-Fi music/arts movement, Vacations are no strangers to wild house parties, packed out rooms, and nation-wide tours where they’ve earned their stripes performing live. Vacations are currently gearing up for their debut album and a world tour for 2018 off the back of their successful 2nd EP, Vibes.
The gang did a coastal tour of Australia, which included their first festival date (Mountain Sounds) and was backed by press and even the record label IOHYOU. When things seemed like it was dying down after their tour, an American fan uploaded the EP to YouTube where it gained over 100,000 viewsin three months.
This led them to join Human Sounds Records, a label based in Atlanta who issued a tape run of Vibes+ Days (1st EP) selling out almost instantly twice over. The label uploaded both EPs onto YouTube where it’s gained 750,000 hits over six months. These kinds of stats aren’t unusual to Vacations on Spotify either, with 1,000,000 streams and rising. Their 2nd film clip for ‘Home‘ off the EP was shot entirely in Seattle.
With the release of their first two singles Moving Out and Steady, Vacations are showing no sign of slowing down.
