The Washington State-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Vera Bloom, who holds nothing back in her addictive hybrid of alternative, grunge, and punk, released the latest offering from the EP “Eyes On You” in August. The new track storms out of the gate on a galloping drumbeat and as the momentum increases, Vera sinks her teeth into a hypnotic hook punctuated by a promise, “my eyes are always on you.”
‘It’s Me’, Vera’s sophomore EP which she co-produced alongside Jeremy Ferguson and Jacob Carey, is a 6-song collection loosely rooted in the classic theme of the Phoenix that also includes her recent single “Boxes” and previously released songs “Say Goodbye,” “Mud,” and “Serenity.” On the incendiary title track “It’s Me,” tense hi-hats quiver as a hard-hitting guitar riff underlines a confident and charismatic chorus, “It’s me, all of me, take it or leave it.”
With an attitude-laden snarl, guitar slung low, and no fucks given, Vera Bloom cranks the honesty and emotion all the way up in her music. She beckons audiences to not only sing, but scream along with her, partaking in the kind of catharsis that only takes place in a haze of distortion. Since debuting in 2021 with her self-titled debut EP, Vera, whose inspirations include the likes of Pink Floyd, Green Day, Pearl Jam, and Joan Jett, has earned acclaim from No Country For New Nashville, Spill Magazine, East of 8th, and Nashville Scene, who named her its “Best Rock Transplant of 2021,” musical comparisons to Courtney Love, Nirvana, Veruca Salt, Joan Jett, The Donnas, and The Runaways, and has even hit the road with the legendary L7. With uplifting energy, Vera Bloom gives rock ‘n’ roll the kick in the ass it needed and delivers a dose of reality on ‘It’s Me’.
