About Me |
|
In the hardcore scene today, hate runs rampant. Not only is negativity ignored, it seems often to be encouraged by bands and crowds alike. Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Venia has a positive, multi- faceted message that stands in stark contrast to the hateful nature of many of their hardcore contemporaries. Venia began playing shows in early 2007, self-releasing their debut EP in March of that year. In the Fall of 2007, they began to write their first full length, all while balancing school and work with their ever- growing show schedule. In January of 2008, the band recorded ten heartfelt and thoughtful tracks now known as their debut album Convictions (released by the band in May of 2008). Soon after, Venia began touring full-time as well, taking their message of hope coast-to- coast. With Convictions, Venia tackles head on many issues they see in the world. Their powerful message recalls the heyday of "Spirit-filled hardcore" and sits at the center of all they do. As the band continues to tour throughout 2008 and into 2009 they will also prepare for their next full length, this time for Blood & Ink Records. Venia are clearly a refreshing voice in a hardcore scene desperate for change. CLICK HERE TO GO TO OUR ONLINE STORE! ORDER OUR FULL LENGTH "CONVICTIONS" NOW! NEW MERCH WILL BE UP FOR ORDER VERY SOON!
