Micah Brown is an independent singer-songwriter and guitarist best-known for his role as lead guitarist and backup vocalist in the California-based alternative reggae-rock band, Iration. Brown joined Iration in 2013 after releasing his debut solo recording, “Down Like Hail” EP featuring the breakout single “Finally Free” in 2011, and follow-up album “The Isle of Her” featuring the highlight “Spend Your Sunlight” in 2012. 
 
Since joining Iration, his solo endeavors have taken a backseat to writing with the band, evident on their last three releases, “Hotting Up” (2015), “Double Up” acoustic album (2016), and 2018’s self-titled effort “Iration”, which will be followed up with a fourth album coming in Summer of 2020. 

Brown kicked off a new decade of music on February 29th, with his first release in four years, a two-song EP entitled “Sounds Like Heaven / Wishing Wells” in anticipation of a new album later this year and his first solo tour dates in as many years.

For the past two decades, Silverstein have relentlessly pushed themselves to become the best version of the band for both themselves and their fans. That determination has led the Ontario-based five-piece from their underground roots to becoming one of the most influential bands in their scene, playing two thousand-plus shows all over the globe, and selling over a million records. Now Silverstein are celebrating their 20th anniversary with the release of their 9th, and perhaps strongest album to date: A Beautiful Place To Drown. 

While many bands would take their 20-year anniversary as an opportunity to rest on the laurels of nostalgia, Silverstein (vocalist Shane Told, guitarists Paul Marc Rousseau and Josh Bradford, bassist Billy Hamilton, and drummer Paul Koehler) see the landmark as a time to appreciate how far they’ve come, while also channeling all those years of experience into something new. A Beautiful Place To Drown finds the band deftly balancing their core sound—an intensely dynamic mix of melody and aggression, rooted in the energy of hardcore punk and the unabashed earnestness of emo—with their natural growth as songwriters and evolving inspirations.

NEW MUSIC + NEW TOUR + NEW LIFE

Music is often classified and categorized into genre. We divide and control which types of melodies and rhythms determine the sound of, at least in our own opinions, rock, country, classical, or jazz, etc... However, as we ascend and rise above a heavily commercial musical threshold, more and more bands are moving away from formula driven blueprints and are experimenting and venturing into new artistic territories. The Veragroove is a culmination of this kind of experiment. Derived from "Truth in Music", the Veragroove collective faces the musical challenge that what may be music to some may not be music to others.
