Get ready for chapter 5...

About Me

In 2007, Vert released their debut album 'Accepting Denial' on Casket Records, completed several headline UK tours and further tour in support of multi-million selling US band BOYHITSCAR.
In addition, they also shared stages with the likes of UK big-hitters SKINDRED & INME, and fellow fast-rising names like I-DEF-I, CAR CRASH TELEVISION and FOREVER NEVER, while selected tracks appeared on various covermount discs including METAL HAMMER, TUNED, COP OFF and more.
Well received by the music press, the album, along with their energetic live show, garnered comments like "surely only a matter of time before Vert are climbing to the top of the UK rock scene" (BIG CHEESE?), "Vert should happen - here, there and everywhere" (TUNED), "Will have you bouncing off the walls - scary as cancer!" (KERRANG!) and "An outstanding, headbanging monster... it will own your neck muscles" (ROCK MIDGETS).
As the band enter 2008 and near the fifth anniversary of their first ever live performance, they find themselves seeking a new full-time drummer.
This is not an opportunity for timewasters, and applicants should be committed, hard-working and talented, preferably aged between 20 and 30 years.
If you think you fit the bill, and want to apply for the position, e-mail [email protected] with your musical biography and links to mp3s of previous work.

TASTY REVIEW FROM TUNED MAGAZINE

Formed in 2002, midlanders Vert are a prickly bunch.  They take all the bombast of early 90s hard rock; the choppy driving riffs and claustrophobic grunge sentimentalities, add a dash of the meta...
