Irish alt-rock band VERA release brilliant new single

Music Review | 26th May, 2024 VERA

Vera is a band that not only boasts some of Northern Ireland's finest musicians but is the vehicle for the incredible vocals of Sarah Toner.

In 2023 Sarah began to record her catalogue of original material at Analogue Catalogue Studios with Declan and new collaborator, producer/drummer Darragh Tibbs.

These sessions quickly pulled in the talents of Matt Holland (keys/guitar) and David Dalzell (bass), both incredibly talented session musicians and artists in their own right who have performed with artists such as Dark Tropics, Chubby Cat, Fatmunk and more.

Over 6 months in the studio the chemistry between the 4 musicians was incredible and the songs took unexpected sonic directions, evolving far from their early forms.

The music project blends a modern Indie sound with elements of groove and soul, retro pop, and rock with Sarah's lyrics covering every possible pitfall of modern love presenting a refreshingly cynical version of being a hopeless romantic.

The latest track No Help From You is a fast paced alt-rocker blending raw guitar, melodic vocals and an anthem-like sing-along chorus.

Lyrically No Help From You deals with the process of letting go and moving on from someone. A celebration of self validation and taking back control.
