The last couple of years have been an exciting time for Midlands-based Vert.
Described by Rock Midgets as "an outstanding head-banging monster", the band’s
debut album ’Accepting Denial’ was released in early 2007 amid a shower of
publicity and critical acclaim both in the UK and abroad. Following this, the
band focussed their efforts on touring, and from Aberdeen to Aberystwyth,
Camden Underworld to Glasgow Cathouse and everywhere in between, Vert built on
their reputation, forged on a tireless hard work ethic.
While Kerrang! magazine lauded them as a band that "...will have you bouncing
off the walls - as scary as cancer!", Vert undertook two headlining UK tours
alongside a number of profile supports in the West Midlands with the likes of
Skindred, InME and New York’s Dub Trio.
Tracks appeared on covermount discs, nestled alongside Soilwork, Down and As I
Lay Dying, and in November the band went out on a further UK run, this time as
tour support for US multi-million selling Boy Hits Car.
The last six months have been spent largely working on the follow-up to
’Accepting Denial’, and while further touring plans are being finalised, the
band are set to return to the live circuit with a number of UK club shows
throughout Autumn 2008. |
