It's been one hell of a year! We've embarked on two national tours, played the Heavy Rebel Weekender in North Carolina, Drop Dead Festival in New York, and now it's time for a new album! We're currently recording our new record, which will feature songs we've been playing for the past two years (such as "Pleasure to Burn") and new ones we've just written in the studio("Bite the Bullet"). Expect the much anticipated split 7 inch with Johnny O and the Jerks to be out sometime in December, just in time for Christmas! Thanks for listening!
Our self-titled CD released by Big Muddy Records is available locally around St. Louis, or you can buy it online.

What a few fine folks had to say about THE VULTURES:
From the NO BRAINS ZINE outta The Netherlands
"It's not very often to hear a band who creates its own style by mixing different old styles like 50s r'n'r, rockabilly, surf and garage. Vultures did it really good and they deserve a place in your record collection next to Cramps and Fuzztones. This CD, I guess their 1st one, is a small masterpiece that saw the light thanks to Big Muddy Records. Vultures are trio with girl on bass. Music is very primitive and there are few covers. It's all done so great, that you can't help it but love this band from St. Louis. They sent a DVD with 2 live clips - it only proves how super great and extraordinary this band is. I really hope to hear more from them and see them in Holland soon."

Ultra raw, super grungy, rockabilly three piece from Missouri. Shit, they cover the Sonics's "Strychnine" and make it sound heavier than even the Cramps's version! Both bassist Ashley Hohman and guitarist Ryan Koening take turns screeching into the microphone while pounding away on this mix of covers and originals. The band has a cathartic style that sounds like they're getting all the heebie-jeebies out via the joys of three chord rock 'n' roll. Killer stuff."
