Combining unrelenting groove with a passion for heaviness and harmony, Tassie born/Melbourne based three piece Verticoli have once again served up a slab of hard hitting alt-rock with End of Days. Recorded at Wick Studios and enlisting the services of heavyweight sonic masters Cam Hull and Forrester Savell, End of Days is built on strong, simple foundations from which Sam Hunn (vocals/guitar), Will Colvin (drums) and Jeremy Hughes (bass) wield an impressive musical dexterity.
Hunn elaborates on the song’s inception, “End of Days is about the feeling of being lost in your own life and looking outwards for a sense of direction and purpose, but that world outside your window is one of immense uncertainty and bleakness where it’s probably more difficult that an ever to know how to live your life.”
Having toured heavily across Australia, supporting bands such as Born Lion, Cog, Kingswood, DZ Deathrays, The Delta Riggs and British India along the way, Verticoli have also earned themselves slots on Falls Festival and Party In The Paddock thanks to triple j and widespread community airplay. Their 2015 debut album Punching Bag spawned the singles Happiness and Head Things, while 2017’s Free Will EP had its title track become another single to be heard on triple j and beyond.
After laying low and living life in 2018, So Far marked an inspired and invigorating return that saw the band head straight back into the studio to cut End of Days. Now on the verge of announcing summer shows, Verticoli continue on their trajectory as one of Australia’s most impressive rock bands.
