Between multidisciplinary artist and musician, Jay Jermyn, and musician, Julian Currie, Veople is an experiential sound and collaboration lingering in the space between tension and release through textural, house-orientated rhythms and electronic production.

Following on from their acclaimed return single earlier this year, 'Tilt', which picked up steam through international tastemakers including EARMILK, Acid Stag, Mystic Sons, Come Here Floyd, triple j Unearthed and more, Veople are ecstatic to release their new single, 'Maverick'. The track is the boldest, loudest and most intense statement the group has ever created. If there was ever a time to know about Veople, 'Maverick' is it.

In usual Veople fashion, 'Maverick' is just as unrelenting in its traversal of deep electronic and post-rock sounds. A weaponised drum performance colliding with washed out synths, digitised blips and a physical, burgeoning guitar solo built to a mechanised level of precision. 'Maverick' was the first track Jay and Julian wrote together as an impromptu performance for an art show. The song has since developed into an eruption of electronic and rock powerhouse that is now through hardware art shows.

Veople's mission statement is to merge the organic and inorganic worlds of art, music and environment together. 'Maverick', as guitarist Julian Currie explains, is the apex of that movement.

"The genesis of this song was an attempt to extend the mechanistic textures of Jay's artwork into a 20-minute freeform cacophony of melting arpeggios and screaming guitars. 'Maverick' is vivid, immediate and disorientingly pummelling as possible. We will not be ignored."

Mercury Sun are a five piece indie-rock outfit hailing from Brisbane, QLD. The band members include Ash Benham (Vocals, Slide), Louis Reen (Guitar), Connor Reen (Guitar), and Jacob Dunn (Bass). Formed in 2013, the band's sound has evolved out of the diverse musical influences that exist within the band.

Mercury Sun's live show has been the cornerstone of their short but productive career which has seen them play alongside some of the country's best acts including Wolfmother, British India, Thirsty Merc and The Grates. 

In 2017, the band released their 2nd EP "Generation Why?". And as of 2018, the band are currently recording their first album set for release in 2019. The first single from the new album, "Stumbling" was released on 23/11/2018.
