Van Halst have a new lyric video out for their song “Questions”, taken from their record World Of Make Believe. Frontwoman Kami Van Halst says of the song:
“I wrote Questions with my sister Brittney Grabill. This song deals with victim blaming and how the victims of sexual assault are often criticized and blamed for putting themselves in a vulnerable position, which allowed them to be abused or exploited. This is wrong, we should not be blaming or scrutinizing the victims of abuse. We need to remove the stigma and put the blame where it rightly belongs- on the abuser.”
World Of Make Believe is out now and available fore purchase on iTunes and Bandcamp.
Additionally, the band will be hitting the road in August for a tour of West Canada. Dates follow:
