Band name, artwork, sound, style – everything matches and everything fits, how nice is it that the songs also convince. UK four-piece The Veras<\/a> have infused influences from 70 years of pop and rock history into the cocktail shaker, but the proportion is different with every song they pour. And that’s cool: whether it’s 60s psych, 70s power pop, 80s glam rock or 90s Britpop that predominates, every tune radiates infectious fun. The band members – Matt Bond (vocals, guitar), Neil Runalis (bass), Jon Gray (organ, vocals) and Dan Taylor (drums) – have previously played with various rock legends, and through that experience they know exactly when a touch of handclaps, cowbell or vocal harmonies should be added for optimal effect. Their full-length debut album V For Veras<\/em><\/a> features 12 hook-packed hits that are a victory over any bad mood. Cheers!<\/p>\n
