This band was created as the ultimate outlet to express an adventurer’s spirit and life stories, using the language of rock n’ roll.
Vicious Clay stands as the brilliant creation of Vinny Silva, a dynamic musician who launched the band as a solo project in 2018. It has since transformed into a formidable quartet, propelled by Vinny’s unmistakable creative vision. Teaming up with co-producer Apoena Frota, they have expertly crafted a distinctive fusion of indie pop infused with diverse influences.
With a powerful blend of classic rock, garage, and blues, Vicious Clay is set to dominate the music scene, armed with a self-titled EP and a series of electrifying live performances in NYC.
“Sand Lake” is an electrifying indie pop anthem that embodies the spirit of new beginnings, drawing inspiration from influential acts like Spoon and Arcade Fire. It features a dynamic guitar groove with a polished and rich tone, seamlessly complemented by a robust drum performance and a powerful bass that ties it all together.

Interesting fact: Sand lake is an actual place, a refuge outside of the metropolitan area, where the artist has always had with friends and family, the perfect location to be imagined as a background for story about a new beginning.
Silva’s vocals are not only heartfelt but also radiate a reassuring energy, gently delivering verses of courage that resonate during new beginnings. The combination of his commanding vocals and the melodic background guitars showcases a style reminiscent of the legendary U2.
Dynamic and exhilarating, “Sand Lake” represents the heartfelt artistry of Vicious Clay, representing a significant milestone in their journey. Captured in the iconic Studio G in Williamsburg, NY, this track radiates a joyful, uplifting energy that invites listeners to embrace the beautiful experience of new love.
