Vows is a DIY dream pop duo comprised of Bone Blanket and Nillo. Their debut album "Winter's Grave" was released April 13, 2011. Based out of central NJ, the pair is currently playing shows with three other members of the Crystal Mountain Music Collective (Sabeel Azam, Ryan Ward, Scott Soffer) to recreate the sound as a live band experience. Now, amid shows the band is back in the basement recording a new full-length album.

In weird ways, it reminds me of the parts of New York that don't really exist anymore; a Times Square full of sleazy theaters, a $2 show at Max's Kansas City with Patti Smith lackadaisically dancing and smoking in the front row or The NEW YORK DOLLS shopping for high heels in a vintage shop. Some of the slower moments remind me of TELEVISION. I'm not sure if this is what the band was going for at all but this is what I get out of it. It just sounds like punk before punk knew what it was supposed to sound like, if you catch my drift.” – Greg Harvester of Remote Outposts

Trepanning play an infectious set of synth and guitar garage punk, with lyrics ranging from Patty Hearst to a failed séance. –Deed Runlea of WFMU’s Distort Jersey City
