Never before has anyone shaken The Van as furiously as Nico Vega did. which is why after watching them my mother said to me, “that one band with the girl, they were very loud.”

Ma, sometimes you need loud. I mean, pops hasn’t heard right in like ten years, so he needs loud. Truthfully though, sometimes you need loud to make everything else quiet. Ya’feel me? It’s not loud like you’re neighbor’s TV bleating into your living room loud. That’s annoying, nobody likes that. I’m talking loud like headphones in your ears before the championship game loud. Loud like screaming because it feels good screaming. I’m talking last song of the night, just won the friggin’ SuperBowl loud. My moms don’t get it, but we get it.

This is why they make those extra dials on the speaker’s volume control…
