About Me

"A decisively mind-bending combination of the driving space-prog of Bostonian monoliths Cave In, the melodic song-craft of Coldplay or Muse and the angelic soulful sensibility of the late great Jeff Buckley and you might begin to have an idea of what Vela are aiming at."
- Ryan J. Downey, MTV News
