The Veer Union – “Bitter End” [Song Review]

Vancouver hard rockers The Veer Union recently released their new single “Bitter End”, from their sophomore record Divide The Blackened Sky out now via Rocket Science Ventures. This song is chock full of catchy melodies and choruses, and from the very start the guitar plays a hypnotic line (very Linkin Park “Hybrid Theory” sounding). Said guitar is quickly followed by in-your-face drums which remain for the rest of the song. Vocalist Crispin Earl’s voice sounds claustrophobic and somewhat anxious during the first verse then opens up for the chorus. Once that happens, it is balls-to-the-wall rock n’ roll at its finest.

The chorus has so much passion and with lyrics like: “I won’t ever surrender like that / I know better, to ever fall back / The enemy was living in my head / I ripped it out and left it for dead / Now I’m alive, feeling born again / And I will fight until the bitter end.” one can’t argue that point. This song is amazing and I encourage you to tell all your friends. Being a TVU fan from the start, I’m so happy that this band is out once again and doing so well!
