Rarely do bands come along with the right mix of purpose and passion to lift their music out of the humdrum and onto a higher plane. Veteran Rex is one such band. Three musicians from vastly different backgrounds have crafted a batch of fresh and different songs and now they are ready to share the Veteran Rex experience with the release of their new EP and an honest and powerful live show. The newly self titled EP was recorded in the dusty farming town of Gatton, west of Brisbane, in Stevies home studio, and mastered by Don Bartley at 301 Studios in Sydney.
Combine a drummer with a Masters degree in classical composition, throw in a guitarist who has dedicated his years to early blues, add a bass player with punk roots whos passionate playing is enough to fuel any band, and, finally, give them some very classy songs thats Veteran Rex. The music that results is a joyous fusion of classic sounds, purposeful pop and contemporary rock with its own distinctive attitude and voice.
You can hear the Byrds, The Band, the Beatles and the Blues but mostly you can hear three accomplished musicians exploring their music and themselves to produce their own distinctive sound.Veteran Rex are a band of singer songwriters to whom good music is everything. The passion and integrity of their songs fuels their foray into the business and this is one band that will always disdain the glitter and go for the guts.By Veteran Rex and Steve Stockwell © 2006
