December 8, 2015

  The Veer Union are set to release their new album, Decade on January 29th via Pavement Entertainment. On December 16, 2015 the band will start a Facebook Bundle Pre-Order that includes a signed CD and Veer Union t-shirt. https://www.facebook.com/theveerunion . 2016 marks the 10 year span between The Veer Unions’ first album “Time To Break The Spell” (2006) and their brand new release appropriately titled “Decade”. This marks 10 years of The Veer Union and their struggles of overcoming adversity and follows the highly successful 2012 release “Divide The Blackened Sky”. Lead vocalist Crispin Earl took a rather unique approach to coincide with the concept of the new album “Decade”. He took the opportunity to take 5 unreleased songs which were written before the first incarnation of The Veer Union 10 years ago, and  bring them back to life. 5 brand new songs were also written for this new album bridging the span of over a DECADE proving that The Veer Union can stand the test of time. By incorporating the original vision of the band [Read More]
