I've played Vanilla Poppers a few times on the Just Some Punk Songs show (shows get saved here if anyone wants some cool background music to accompany their internet browsing : https://www.mixcloud.com/mick-fletcher/) and truth be told I thought I'd already featured them on here. Turns out I haven't so today I'll be correcting that oversight.
They're from Cleveland (Ohio) and Australia (vocalist Christine Pap moved from Melbourne to Cleveland) and formed in 2015 featuring members of bands such as Prison Moan, Cruester, Grin And Bear It, Rubber Mate, Perverts Again etc...
They quickly released a name your price demo (https://blowbloodrecords.bandcamp.com/album/vanilla-poppers-demo-cassette) and tour tape (https://blowbloodrecords.bandcamp.com/album/tour-tape). Both were on Pap's own Blow Blood Records (https://www.facebook.com/BlowBloodRecords/) . Next up was the 7" ep on Negative Jazz records titled Lurking In The Corner Of Cleveland Ohio.
They returned a couple of months ago with their debut S/T album, it's on Lumpy Records and you can check it out here : https://blowbloodrecords.bandcamp.com/album/lumpy-records-release-s-t-lp
As well as Christina Pap, the band also features Jo Coone (guitar), Steve Osborne (bass) and Drew Vaccaro (drums). This song is about that feeling you get when you're walking home alone and you think you're being followed. You think you've glimpsed something out of the corner of your eye, you can hear footsteps coming up behind you and you're getting paranoid that someone's coming for you. It's called Footsteps....
