Muse to Sirens, led by the ethereal vocals of Vanity Ladner, the hypnotic droning guitar riffs of Thomas Ladner, and the heavy, fatal drums of Kristen Huete, is one of Alabama’s most alluring musical gems. The band's journey began in 2018 in the vibrant bars & underground venues of Shanghai. Conjuring sonic inspiration from the golden era of Gothic music and the rich folklore and musical roots of America’s Deep South, Muse to Sirens effortlessly create uniquely captivating and hypnotic listening experiences that lure their audience to a place where one might feel as if they’re standing at a crossroads in rural Mississippi, brokering a deal for their soul with the devil.
Muse to Sirens has become the first US band to be interviewed by Viva!, a popular UK podcast, and joined forces with Viva! Podcast, to create what they hoped to be the first-ever vegan Christmas hit "Peace on Your Plate". The song debuted in December 2019 and landed the #5 spot on Amazon Music and #7 on Google Play, with proceeds going to Tower Hill Stables Animal Sanctuary and Viva!
The band welcomes opportunities for collaboration with broadcasters, other musicians, and bloggers from around the world.
