On the new video, drummer Evan Garcia Renart shares: "We really wanted to create a collection of songs that not only allowed the audience to hear a powerful final product, but to be immersed in the intimate process that we used to create it. Our goal is to create high concept contemporary material that's imbued with the nostalgia of the music we grew up listening to and were inspired by."

Off Road Minivan is Ryan "Tuck" O'Leary (vocals, bass), Melvin Brinson (guitar), Dave Trimboli (guitar/keyboard), Miles Sweeny (guitar/keyboard), and Evan Garcia Renart (drums).

Off Road Minivan is an alternative rock band from Red Hook, NY. Their sound-a nod to acts like Jimmy Eat World, Thrice, and Snow Patrol-is the direct result of decade-long friendships and a collective passion for 90's grunge. Lead vocalist Ryan "Tuck" O'Leary (Fit For A King) uses Off Road Minivan as an opportunity to write the softer rock he loves to play. His band mates Melvin Brinson (guitar), Dave Trimboli (guitar/keyboard), Miles Sweeny (guitar/keyboard), and Evan Garcia Renart (drums) all play active roles in the writing process too, collaborating and building songs in sessions, not on screens.

"Our main point is to try and get away from what everyone is doing," explains O'Leary, referencing the popularity of electronic music. "We want the organic part of music, the kind that really fills the room, to be what we're known for."

Their debut EP, Spiral Gaze, releases on February 16th, 2018 via Tooth & Nail Records.
