Recorded on brand new EMTEC SXG tape at SP. My Vitriol are a British alternative rock band, formed in 1999 in London. The band currently comprises singer and guitarist Som Wardner, drummer Ravi Kesavaram, guitarist Seth Taylor and bassist Tatia Starkey. The band had success with their debut album Finelines in 2001, which spawned three top-40 hit singles on the UK Singles Chart, before announcing a hiatus in 2002.

Som, his brother and Seth are truly some of the most genuine and lovely people in the business.

Thanks! Huge MV fan and I've never seen this. One of the most energetic sets I've seen them play.

[@hermanthetosser4219]

Great comment to see despite the time past... i used to love this band

[@TheIkaraCult]

This is the best live recording i've ever seen of them. Guitars on full blast. What a wonder they are.

[@hermanthetosser4219]

Back again

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Thanks for returning 🎸

[@jameswarner5809]

Great band. Just wish they'd recorded more. Also never found out why Carolyn left and what she did subsequently.

This band is awesome... they had a few UK top. 40 hits around 2000/2001 time.... and i think finelines remains their only studio album release around 2001, might've had a special edition 2002.... but very one off band. Awesome upload. Use to listen to them when i was younger

Fantastic video of a great band who sadly released only one album.

At least it was one hell of an album

[@craigmaloney6340]

In case anyone is wondering, Fine Lines came out in 2001. There were a couple of EPs released in 2007 which had a couple of new tracks and in 2016 they released the Secret Sessions which has 9 "new" songs on it (which is the closest thing we have had to a follow up record.) This band, for whatever reason, released an incredible first record and didn't capitalise on their success. Given what's popular in the charts today, I don't see this band resurfacing with another album. Great band, maybe they just didn't want it enough.

They were shot by the end of 2002, I remember Som saying in an interview that they had to go away for a while. The tide had already turned for those 1999-01 post-Britpop Brit/Irish alt-rock bands in 2001, when the NME hyped the Strokes and White Strips into oblivion and set forth the landfill indie for the rest of the decade. The decline of the paper music press hurt those bands as well, in particular the Melody Maker going under, which had championed alot of them. I remember going to MV's comeback gig at Islington Academy in Jan 2005 and it felt like they'd been gone for a decade, such was the pace of change at the time (hell, even the Darkness, who exploded in 2003, didn't sustain it for the second album and were in the "meh" category by 2005). 2005 had to be the year of the MV second album, but with no support and probably back to working day jobs by that time...like for alot of bands, very likely life just got in the way.

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

Cool stuff. I'm giving extra points to whoever coined the term Nu Gaze.

Thank you for sharing. I love this band

[@Robbbbinator]

Thx for the content man! But it isn´t from Rock am Ring, it´s actually from the twin festival Rock im Park

[@NielsOleNorgaard1983]

Are we sure this is from Rock am Ring? I'm thinking this is from Rock im Park. I saw them at Rock am Ring June 1st 2001, and that gig was definitely played outside in the daytime. This looks like it was played inside a venue and it is dark 🤔

[@Shadobeni]

It literally says Rock Im Park on the screen at 2:39
