The Vidos are an independent rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia. The group consists of Nolan Nielsen (drums, vocals), Brett W. Hornall (vocals, bass), and Kirk Musfelt (guitar, vibraslap), and were formed in 2011.

Within a year and a half, the band self-recorded and released an album of demos from Kirk's attic. The majority of the album was recorded with an electric drum kit, with the only acoustic-kit song being "Again and Again" (frustrated with the sound quality of the electric kit, the band took the drum track from a promotional demo that they had recorded 8 months prior). Also notable about this song is the vocal track, which was recorded by putting a small microphone inside a toaster, which was then sung into. Dubbed "2012", the album contains a number of songs that are used in the soundtrack for Jack McQuistin's independent film, "The Next Step". The songs "Arnold Dickhead", "Hipster Luv", and "2012" were on minor college radio rotation for a short period.

The Vidos cite groups like The Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Sonic Youth as inspiration for the band's eclectic, marginally obscure, pop-song-structured style of writing. They have written new material and are getting ready to release their official debut EP, "All The Time", on June 20, 2014. You can stream the album now, through the band's last.fm page.
