VHF, the supergroup featuring Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder), Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Rock Of Ages) and Todd Vinny Vinciguerra, have released a teaser video for their new EP.

The band expects to release the predominantly instrumental EP, Very High Frequency, this spring. The effort is currently being mixed and mastered by Tommy Kessler (Blondie).

VHF also offered up the following description, "Taken from the blueprint set by Miles Davis' groundbreaking record Kind Of Blue, VHF starts with drummer Todd Vinny Vinciguerra setting the initial tone of the song, The song arrangement is made on drums, then passed along to legendary bassist Tony Franklin for chord progression and underlying groove. Once a groove is established, the rhythm tracks are set in place for guitar virtuoso Joel Hoekstra's independent interpretation. The music is created from the bottom up, that is the drums are the creative force behind the band. The final piece contains parts by each musician uniquely composed, completely independent of each other, and done with complete artistic freedom by each musician. The sound of the band varies from piece to piece, but it is a combination of ethereal trippy sounds and driving rhythms, enticing the listener to create a picture or movie to play out in their mind."
