11/05/2019

Formed in 2016 while still at school, Edinburgh band Vistas quickly became known for their energetic guitar-based indie-rock sound. After releasing their debut single, "Calm" in March 2018, the band followed this with a string of catchy, radio friendly hits that quickly caught the attention of major players in the music press including Radio 1's Huw Stephens, 6 Music, DIY Magazine and Clash Magazine. Since then, the band have embarked on various UK tours, both as the headline act and also alongside bands such as Circa Waves and Fatherson. Their debut studio album. Everything Changes in the End was released on 29 May 2020, peaking at number two in the Scottish Albums Chart and number twenty-one in the UK Albums Chart.
