THE VEER UNION will be releasing their debut album, Against The Grain, next Tuesday, April 21st. For the recording, the band chose to work with two of the industry’s hottest producers in Greg Archilla (Collective Soul, Matchbox 20, Buckcherry) and Brian Howes (Hinder, Daughtry, Skillet, Puddle of Mudd).
The Veer Union was formed in late 2004 by vocalist Crispin and guitarist Eric. Originally from Port Alberni, BC, the two longtime friends surprisingly found themselves living as neighbors. At the time Crispin was the front man of Everything After, where creative differences led to his departure. Crispin was gaining attention as a songwriter with credits on Motley Crue’s drummer Tommy Lee’s solo CD Tommyland: The Ride. Eric, who had recently relocated back to Vancouver after a stint in Los Angeles with 40 Foot Echo (Hollywood Records), was working on projects of his own.
After a search for the right members to fill out the line-up, The Veer Union got to work. After nearly two years of endless touring across the continent, the band signed a record deal with Universal/Motown Records out of New York City. The Canadian melodic-rock group is currently on tour with arena rockers Hinder and Theory Of A Deadman in support of their upcoming album.

Against The Grain hits stores on April 21st.
