:: ABOUT THE ARTISTS :: The Veer Union was formed in late 2004 by vocalist Crispin Earl and guitarist Eric Schraeder.
“Every song we write about is about hope, whether it's about hoping to get the girl back, being in a better place, or not being spiteful or cynical. Veering away from the dark and into the light."
The band put this philosophy in to practice by partnering with the “You Can Be Anything Foundation”, dedicating parts of their relentless US touring schedule to help schools raise money for music programs. “We love to meet our fans,” says Eric. “There is nothing better than sharing our music with these kids live.”
Marc Roots (Roots) on bass, James Fiddler (Fid) on guitar, and Neil Beaton round out THE VEER UNION line up. After nearly two years of endless touring across the continent, the band signed a record deal with Universal/Motown Records and recorded AGAINST THE GRAIN with producer Greg Archilla (Collective Soul, Matchbox 20, Buckcherry) with a couple of tracks produced by Brian Howes (Hinder, Hedley, Daughtry www.theveerunion.com TV Heart Attack - On a diet of David Lynch and sweaty backstage greenrooms the TVHA saga continues with their latest recording ‘Lost in the Sway’. From the vulnerable rocker single ‘A/O’ to the haunting ‘Wolves’ this is an unrelenting collection of songs that delves deeper and harder into the psyche of what made the self-titled debut resonate with such clarity. www.myspace.com/tvheartattack

Their debut album was recorded by the award-winning GGGarth Richardson and Ben Kaplan and features songs with guest musicians such as Trevor Hurst (Econoline Crush) and Shaun Verrault (Wide Mouth Mason). www.myspace.com/soulsidein
