Verax formed in summer 2006, having already recorded their first 3-track E.P. (In your eyes) at Atomic studios, London, which consisted of Forest, In Your Eyes and Get With It.
After a year or so of playing gigs, to varying audiences, they then went in to Record the second E.P.
I Just Wanna Burn was recorded at Jigsaw Studios, Frognall and featured Mercy, I Just Wanna Burn and Lost.
The band have recently aquired a new rhythm guitarist in Dave Creasy who has already shown clear signs of taking the band in the right direction.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
As a band, we are always looking for venues for performing, as it is the key basis of a real rock band. A particular performance that we enjoyed was party in the park, holbeach where we played in front of 2000 or so people, which was a pretty adrenalizing step up for us.
