The Vantage

It’s Saturday night and I’m tucked up in the corner of a cozy coffee shop in Deep Ellum with one of my best friends. I take a gulp of water to wash down the divine French toast I just ate as two guys walk in, scan the room and head towards our table. As I look up from my plate, I’m greeted with smiles from two people that look as if they don’t mind spending the time before they hit the stage tonight talking to two teenage girls about their music. They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, that people never forget their first impression of you, and rightly so, as that night was a first impression I will never forget.

In just under two years of existence, The Vantage has accomplished things most unsigned bands only dream of. Although the band went into the recording process for “On My Way” lacking a serious attitude, it was obvious that the pop-rock duo had potential for something great. After playing SXSW without a released album, they released the Summer EP and then spent the summer filming the flipbook music video for “On My Way”. The Vantage then decided to re-release the songs off the Summer EP as This Time Now in order to properly put themselves and their songs out there for the public, as the first EP wasn’t pushed as much as they wanted it to be. Clearly, this strategy worked well for the band, as they’ve appeared on the iTunes Ahead Of The Curve section twice since the release of their two EP’s. “On My Way” was also featured on ABC’s The Vineyard in July 2013. Since the release of This Time Now, the band has recorded a full-length album set to release sometime this year.

As guitarist and vocalist Jackson Wise put it, this new album will be “an evolution from what you’ve already heard.” He and James Mason (vocals) believe that the EP they put out was more of a sampler of what they wanted to sound like at the time- a rough sketch of who they were, but not as defined as they would have liked. The full-length, however, is more of a complete body of work. The new album will also have less of an acoustic feel compared to the light, summery feel of This Time Now. In the process of recording, the duo has grown up and established their identity as a band, which will no doubt be strengthened as time goes on.

The two have always been hard working, but in 2014 they plan to work even harder to get their music out there. I could tell even from the twenty or so minutes that we sat with The Vantage that their music is extremely important to them. Beneath the carefree and jovial exterior are two men that believe in the words and stories they create and want to see them last. Many people in the music business want to be remembered for fame or how many number one hits they had, but this duo wants something even more important: longevity and a ride to remember. The ups and downs are what make life interesting, and the two welcome the idea that you can’t always be on top. Like Mason says, you can’t always be Batman. “Sometimes you’ve got to be a little bit of a Dark Knight” and hit those lows. The Vantage wants to be the band that you keep coming back to no matter how many times you’ve listened to their music, not one of the one hit wonders; with down-to-earth personalities that make you feel like you’ve known them forever and songs I just can’t seem to get out of my head, I have no doubt that people will do just that.
