VERATIE (pronounced veh-ruh-tee) are an alt-rock / nu-metal band, based in Southeast Queensland.
Formed in 2021 by lead singer-songwriter Sarah and guitarist-beatmaker Connor, VERATIE overlays evocative melodic and rap vocals over an intricate soundscape of synth, heavy guitars, and relentless rhythm. They have already supported names such as The Halo Effect (Europe), Beyond the Black (Europe), Redhook, Devilskin (New Zealand), Lagerstein, Krave, and more.
VERATIE are set to release their second single, Perfect Stranger, on the 11th of November 2024, the follow-up to their debut single Ashes, which has cracked over 2.5K streams on Spotify. Perfect Stranger is the next step on the band’s journey toward their debut album release, IN//HUMAN. This concept album thematically revolves around the intersection of humanity, society, machine, and divine.
Guitarist-beatmaker Connor describes Perfect Stranger as a “pop punk-rap track that illustrates a crumbling relationship, torn by miscommunication and spite.” Perfect Stranger depicts the deterioration of this relationship to the point that they no longer seek to know or understand each other.
Connor spits hip hop verses over energetic guitar to sharply assert his point, as lead vocalist Sarah provides a melodic foil, cementing this track’s sense of duality and emotional division.
Perfect Stranger was recorded, mixed, and produced with James See at Airlock Studios in Brisbane and mastered by Steve Smart at Studio 301 in Sydney.
Perfect Stranger is set to release on the 11th of November 2024 across all major platforms, including:
- Spotify
- Apple Music
- Apple iTunes
- YouTube Music
- Amazon Music
- Tidal
“Perfect Stranger is a well-structured and musically impulsive track that highlights the sonic textures between light and shade far beyond the expectations of a band on only their second single.”
— Kris Peters, HEAVY Mag
VERATIE are complementing this release with an official lyric video, designed and animated in-house by guitarist-beatmaker Connor. This video drops on YouTube 18th of November 2024, backed up by a single launch show at Hollow Fest on the 30th of November (Mansfield Tavern Brisbane).
“VERATIE is back, redefining modern rock with Perfect Stranger – a track packed with raw emotion, razor-sharp riffs, and gripping rap vocals. Soulful, edgy, and powerful, Perfect Stranger is a bold blend of heart and energy.”
— Larissa Mahony, Locals In The Loop (Sunshine Coast)
VERATIE is for fans of Linkin Park, Evanescence, Paramore, Muse, and Spirit Box. They are a band to watch as they rise in the new generation of alternate artists.
