VHS Collection: Nils Vanderlip, Conor Cook, James Bohannon
VHS Collection's three members have known each other since childhood. Conor Cook and James Bohannon attended the same middle school in New York City, while James and Nils Vanderlip attended the same high school.[5]
VHS Collection began performing live at friends' parties and around NYC's Lower East Side rock clubs, eventually selling out multiple headline shows at the NYC's Mercury Lounge. In December 2015, the band independently released their self-titled debut EP.[6] The EP's single "Lean" was reviewed favorably by Consequence of Sound and rose to #8 on the Spotify Viral Charts in January 2016. VHS Collection released their second EP Stereo Hype in 2016, which featured the singles Waiting on the Summer and Ghost. The band performed at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits that year and opened for Bloc Party.[7] VHS Collection released more singles in 2017, as they worked on material for their debut album with producers Chris Zane (who has worked with Passion Pit and St. Vincent)[6] and Tony Hoffer (who has produced and mixed artists like M83, Beck, and Phoenix).[6] On November 2, 2018, VHS released their debut album, Retrofuturism.[1][8] The album has 12 songs and is reminiscent of 1980's music.[9] In 2019, the band embarked on the Retrofuturism Tour, with 24 dates across the United States and Canada.[10] In 2022, the band released its second full-length album, Night Drive, through PIAS. Survive from the album spent three weeks on the US Alternative Radio Charts. The band completed the Night Drive tour in July 2022 in the US, including a headline show at Brooklyn Steel.
The band released their second full-length album titled Night Drive on February 25, 2022.
