Music like Van Atta High

Van Atta High (or VAH) was an American emo/screamo band from New Jersey, United States, formed in 2006, and disbanded on May 14, 2010.

Founding member Steve Kellner (vocals) formed Van Atta High in June 2006 with original members Santino Loconte (drums), Socrates Moutsakis (guitar), Kyle Brazier (guitar) and Jarret Gallipoli (bass). In 2006, the band released their first EP entitled We Are The Captivated. Long standing members Stephen Jasko (guitar) and Clark Starace (bass) were recruited to the group in 2007 and replaced Gallipoli and Brazier. Armed with this first EP and their charismatic stage presence, Van Atta High quickly became a crowd favorite among the local New Jersey band circuit. Some of their most well-known songs include "Call Me Jersey," "Birthday Girl," and their pop rock cover of the Starland Vocal Band 1970s hit "Afternoon Delight" (contracted with S1 Songs, a music publishing company).
