    ..New EP.. .. .... .............. ....................real..editor....best profile tools......... FOR FULL DETAILS AND UPDATES VISIT WWW.VERTISBAND.COM . Vertis is a Fife-based alternative rock band which was formed by Alan Gilliland-Patterson in September 2008. The idea has always been to create unique and exciting music that is still widely accessible. Since forming, Vertis have played all over Scotland in many prestigious venues including Glasgow Barrowlands and the Carnegie Hall. As well as this they have received glowing reviews from the press and record labels including the News of the World who called Vertis a 'hidden gem'. Vertis were also chosen, from over 500 acts, to appear on Fourtrak Record's Homecoming Scotland album which featured the 'best of new Scottish bands and artists'. This buzz led to radio play from many student stations as well as Edinburgh's very own Leith FM and a 'release of the month' nomination from Glasgow's King Tuts for their debut E.P. release In My Defence. In June 2010, Alan called a hiatus for the band. A year on and Vertis return with news of their second E.P. which will be called Loose Lips Sink Ships. Watch this space… ....

NEWS OF THE WORLD

VERTIS, Sneaky Pete’s, Edinburgh

THE Edge Festival is proving to be a delight for music fans of all types. And one hidden gem in the pack managed to spark a mini earthquake in Edinburgh, the epicentre located in the small but sturdy, Sneaky Pete’s.

Vertis, a band gathering much momentum since their unexpected request to contribute to Scotland’s A Sort of Homecoming album, blasted their way into the hearts of more fans with a collection of rock tracks that would blow anyone’s socks off.

With a deft display of guitar riffs and a diamond vocalist not dissimilar to a hairy Alan Cumming, Vertis shook the ground with their unique brand of Scottish rock; Without You a clear favourite with the fans, and a potential chart topper.

Keep an eye out for these guys’ but wear your hard hat.

FOURTRAK RECORDS

One of the other interesting things about the band is that they’ve only been in existence a hair’s breadth longer than a year. The result of the band’s Biffy Clyro-meets-Buffalo Tom-meets-QOTSA melange is a unique and exciting sound that is accessible and catchy.

This trio have been gaining momentum since rave reviews at The Edge Festival.

SOUNDSNOB

There’s a lot more to like…guts out rock from the fledgling Vertis.
