The single from Vandalism made it's debut into the ARIA Club chart at #5 and shot up to the #1 spot in only 3 weeks for the last ARIA chart of 2005, holding the number 1 spot for 6 weeks before charting on the commercial Top 40! Smashing their way into the lead of the new wave Electro House rampage, Vandalism are on a search ‘n'destroy mission to annihilate your senses. The hedonistic trio pillage the post-punk archives to put their unhinged club spin on the 70s underground anthem ‘Never Say Never' Retaining the original’s raw energy, Vandalism pack their version with ram raided beats and tuff, angry bass to snarl the summer’s most in-yer-face pick up line: “I might like you better if we slept together".

Giving Never Say Never its vocal attitude is no nonsense songbird Cassie Van. No stranger to public attention, Cassie Van's stayed off the streets dancing her way around the world from LA to London - and hosting the small screen’s Slam Basketball show where her duties involved keeping surly sportsmen and rowdy rockdogs in line on the playing fields and festival circuit. Cassie Van was first heard busting her vocal chops with Girl-Band ‘Girl Mansion' giving respect to her chick rock icons Blondie and The Go-Go’s. Distracted by a new set of brash musical heroes (Kaiser Chiefs, End Of Fashion & Franz Ferdinand) she was soon lured to a lascivious Vandalism lifestyle. Never leaving home without being armed with her trusty Note Pad, Cassie Van's packing music writing power proved a worthy combatant against the Vandalism boys, already co-penning the band’s latest b-side and facing off with Van and Denny for future material.

Prize fighter Andy Van swaggers into Vandalism with nearly two decades of deck damage under his belt, having DJed his homeland of Australia’s biggest parties (Summadayze and Gatecrasher to name just a few) as well as spinning out to hundreds of thousands more at the Love Parade, Creamfields, Manumission and other parties and clubs around the globe. On radio he’s trounced transmissions via Britain’s Radio 1 (alongside Danny Rampling), Australia’s Austereo Network (Loaded) and Melbourne’s agenda-setting Kiss FM (Friday night’s Vandalism.TV). When not wreaking turntable havoc, Van’s swung a bat through the record industry with his internationally-renown Vicious label, home to artists such as Dirty South, Nubreed & mrTimothy. A constant flow of mix CDs (including three MOS Summer Annuals) and crossover hits as Blackout, Astral Project and Bubbleman have yet to keep him out of trouble. And his stint as one-half of household invaders Madison Avenue saw him menace the charts with million seller Dont Call Me Baby & Who The Hell Are You.

Vandalism’s co-conspirator is Aussie DJ/producer Kam Denny. With over twelve years of deck and studio abuse behind him, Denny’s outing came when he got Vicious in 1996, as Van’s label let his Krank crew go wild with their deep cut Circulate. After a lengthy hiatus, Denny was getting Vicious again in 2001 when as 16th Element he unleashed the double a-side knockout Warp/Well Strung. Pounded out by DJs all over the world and done over by UK house bandits X-Press 2, Warp left a devastating impression gaining international kudos from heavyweights Roger Sanchez, Danny Rampling, Timo Maas, Eric Morrillo and Pete Tong and was licenced to labels around the world, including UK’s Loaded and the US’s Subliminal. Another global assault followed as Denny adopted his Neurotic Jock guise and king hit the tribal scene with Therapy. A darkroom percussive bomb, it received support from kings of the drum Danny Tenaglia and Seb Fontaine. Tribal Beats, his Neurotic Jock follow through, made further impact via Subliminal offshoot Sondos. A swag of remixes attached to his name, Denny has remained a constant provider to fans of the tuff club cut. More recently, both he and Andy have been tearing up dancefloors across their homeland with Vandalism DJ Sets.

Never Say Never takes no prisoners with its aggressive electro house stance and you just may like it better if you don’t sleep on it. Call the cops now, Vandalism is destroying your neighbourhood!
