Don Vail is a Canadian indie rock band, formed by Mitch Bowden and David Dunham, formerly of the band Chore, and Bill Priddle, formerly of Treble Charger and Broken Social Scene.[1]
History
[edit]Bowden and Dunham continued working together following the breakup of Chore, but the band didn't take shape for a number of years. Bowden later met Priddle, who joined to play guitar.
The band recorded its self-titled debut album in 2006 and 2007 with producer Jordon Zadorozny.[1] The album was released independently in 2009.[2][3] The album's sound was a combination of grunge, punk and pop.[4] Some of the songs had been written for Chore, but not recorded by that band before it broke up.
In 2016, the band released its sophomore album, Fades.[5][6] The album appeared on the campus and community radio charts that year.[7]
In 2019, the band released its third album, Stand of Tide.[8]
