VIAL

Taylor Kraemer (she/they), eventual vocalist and keytarist of VIAL, left a house show in Minneapolis and started a band. Kraemer quickly recruited friends from after-school music lessons, guitarist/vocalist KT Branscom (they/them) and bassist/yeller Kate Kanfield (they/them). 24 hours and a band Tinder account later, they matched with drummer/vocalist Katie Fischer (she/they). Over the next two years, the band would release their debut LP Grow Up to critical acclaim, receive Best New Band honors from the City Pages, and grow a faithful TikTok following on the road to their sophomore album.
