Vertical Rush (NEW MERCH!!)

THE VERTICAL RUSH BIO

VERTICAL RUSH do not adhere to your typical indie-band recipe. Take a good serving of gutsy guitar rock, blend it with intricate song arrangements, a large helping of catchy pop hooks and a pinch of tongue-in-cheek humour. Serve fresh with an intense live performance. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Vertical Rush have come a long way from their inception in 1998. Though they have experienced 10 years of lineup and stylistic changes, Vertical Rush remains true to their core passion: To make music that moves people.

Vertical Rush draw from a deep well of musical influences, ranging from classic to alternative rock, and it shows in their music. In a generation of bland imitators who scratch the surface, Vertical Rush are a much-needed voice of passion and maturity.

Whether they are playing to half a dozen people at an intimate acoustic performance, or to thousands at a rock festival and all points between, Vertical Rush never fails to give their all and deliver the goods where it matters!

Musical trends may come and go, but Vertical Rush have shown beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are here to stay. Few bands can lay claim to having as much staying power and continuous growth as Vertical Rush, and they look forward to many more years of making music that moves people.

VERTICAL RUSH IN 2008:

Vertical Rush are currently in the studio completing their upcoming sophomore full-length release, tentatively titled Of Real Dreams. The album marks the coming-of-age of the band, and a progression from the starry-eyed pop affectations of their debut full-length release, Songs for the Girls We Never Dated.

Indeed, the album promises to tease the ear with more catchy indie-rock anthems, but with a newfound depth, honesty and maturity in songwriting and arrangements. This is an album 3 years in the making, but the band promises that it will be well worth the wait. Of Real Dreams is slated to be launched in March / April 2008.

Some notable past events and venues that Vertical Rush have performed at: Baybeats Festival, Mosaic Music Festival, Sonic Festival, CLEO 10th Birthday Bash, Mediacorp NYE Countdown, Esplanade: Theatres on the Bay, *Scape, Youth Park, Substation, Zouk Club, Hard Rock Cafe, Rouge Club, Home Club and Vivo City.

Here's what some people have to say about Vertical Rush:

“Vertical Rush wowed the audience with their upbeat and rhythmically complex arrangements of their jangly anthems.”
Mosaic Mania, Mosaic Music Festival 2006 E-Newsletter

“I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like their music. From the guys moshing in the front to the screaming teenage girls, to the grown women swooning in the back, everyone can rock out to Vertical Rush. They’re the triple H of homegrown music - hardworking, honest and heartfelt. And they’re cute too!”
Denise Tan, ex-Power 98 DJ
