Bio
As part of Chicago's live music scene for three years now, Verona Red’s rock and roll is dependably energetic and full of dancing. Filled with bass-drum climbing, floor grinding, instrument swapping and insults to your mother, their live show never fails to arouse a crowd.
After releasing their first album, an eight-song EP called Ever and After the End in October 2005, Verona Red debuted their first full-length album, Side Effects, to a full-house at Chicago’s Double Door in November, 2008.
Synth beats loiter across Side Effects, which highlights Verona Red’s ability to combine distorted blues-saturated vocals, provocative
guitar riffs and boisterous sing-alongs into a sexy and undeniable rock and roll sound.
About
Verona Red displays serious disregard for good behavior on stage, and leaves little room for doubt regarding their ability to rock and roll. Their live show births an energy so vicious, children run from it. Thankfully, their usual crowd of drinking concert-goers tends to dance to it.
Synth beats loiter across their latest album, “Side Effects,” which was released to a full-house at Chicago’s Double Door in November 2008. The album highlights Verona Red’s ability to combine distorted blues-saturated vocals, provocative guitar riffs and boisterous sing-alongs into a sexy and undeniable rock and roll sound. And while Verona Red’s music may not be the most technically sophisticated in the land, it’s always a lot of fun.
Side Effects is available now
“Well-written, driving indie rock that is almost as dancey as it is smart. In a world where most bands want to sound like some other stagnant band, this is refreshing."
- John Benetti (Talent Buyer, Housecall Entertainment. Books Subterranean and Beat Kitchen in Chicago, IL)
“Rock that genuinely warrants a hearty grassroots fan base… a winning combination of saloon sing-along and driving pop with a refreshing shadowy heart.”
– Jeff Pizek (The Daily Herald)
“In essence, Verona Red is carving a niche within the alternative rock genre with this new album. This is the album to add to your 2008 collection.”
– Southside (Fearless Radio)
“There is a high octane intensity that is physically undeniable in Verona Red’s new wave explication. But, the kicker would have to be their ability to blend musical crafts without having created a noticeably biased opinion of what good time rock and roll should sound like.”
