"Tuneful and muscular" rock music.
How to Vanish embraces elements of rock, power-pop, emo and punk. Their sound borrows from the likes of the Foo Fighters and Jimmy Eat World.
The band was founded in 2004 in Columbia, S.C., where each of us has been involved in the music scene for a few years now. Check us out at www.howtovanish.net.
Here's what the Free Times (Columbia's weekly entertainment paper) has to say about us:
"Recently formed, How to Vanish is a Columbia supergroup, of sorts. … This quartet ... could take Columbia by surprise, or even by storm. With their powers combined, they could be captains of Columbia's slipping rock scene."
Southeast Performer magazine said this:
"Take a moment to recollect the last time a pop album was praised for its depth and emotion. Kenley Young is not only the strength behind the vocals, but the poetic genius that delivers compelling, passionate lyrics."

Lead singer/songwriter Kenley Young has been in the studio for the past few months, working on a new project that's a bit of a departure from How to Vanish. It's more singer-songwriter oriented, and Young is working with tons of guest musicans. He's hoping to have the album completed by the end of summer.

We just finished up a killer demo, which is available right here on Broadjam. We're excited about these songs. They're edgy, catchy, urgent, provocative. And most importantly, they're well-written and well-recorded.
Here's what the Free Times (Columbia's weekly entertainment paper) has to say about us:
"The real interest may be the debut of How to Vanish. Recently formed, How to Vanish is a Columbia supergroup, of sorts. … This quartet—comprised of Columbia rockers who arguably bowed out at the height of local popularity—could take Columbia by surprise, or even by storm. With their powers combined, they could be captains of Columbia's slipping rock scene."
How to Vanish is a relatively new project, but the band has been together, in one form or another, since singer/songwriter Kenley Young's sophomore year of high school in Georgetown, S.C.
When the band came to college in Columbia, we were known as Fling. Ask around town, and you'll find vestiges of that fan base, a few incriminating photos, and maybe some copies of our first EP, "The View From the Valley." Southeast Performer magazine had nice things to say:
"Take a moment to recollect the last time a pop album was praised for its depth and emotion. Kenley Young is not only the strength behind the vocals, but the poetic genius that delivers compelling, passionate lyrics."
After Fling parted ways, Kenley did a lot of solo work and a lot of writing, from which How to Vanish was born two years ago.
We're happy to have another really cool demo to promote, and we'd like to hear from you. You can contact us at howtovanish@gmail.com.
We hope to hear from you soon.
