The Veer Union set to release new album, Decade on January 29th

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]

Marie-Claire Berreen & Her Husbands returns with a touching new video

December 8, 2015

One of my favorite angelic voice has returned! UK Folk rockers Marie-Claire Berreen & Her Husbands have just released a beautiful new video for their song, Come Home. Once again, y ou are greeted with the warm sweet vocals of Marie-Claire that embrace you in a comforting hug.  “Come Home was inspired by the view of a North Welsh harbour. The song is filled with emotion and imagery, of losing someone and yearning for their return, which inspired the story telling nature of the video. The aerial footage was taken at the harbour and then overlaid with scenes created by artists at Worcester Snoezelen, an independent charity which offers multi-sensory and creative activities for people with disabilities.” Check out the amazing video here: You can check out some behind the scenes photos and how they made this creative video by visiting:  http://mcbandhh.squarespace.com/making-the-video.
