Just over one year has gone by for Minneapolis band A Verse Unsung. Between gigging and recording with Grammy winning producer Steve Hodge they have reached an exciting point for any evolving young band. Over 500 EPs sold and over 5,000 fans on ‘Myspace’ AVU has their hands dirty and ready for more.

The band gets their roots from punk and pop alike, and with their wide appeal they have a unique bond with fans. Taking this sound on the road for their first inter-state tour and steadily gaining momentum in their national college radio campaign, AVU is giving people everywhere a reason to rock again. Still fresh out of high school, Jake Scherer, Aaron Gates, Dan Garland and Kenny Fritze have put together an unapologetic and refreshing new sound that rocks.

The songs are honest, expressive, and come from the heart. Ballsy licks and surprising melodies come packed with real talent as the band’s songwriting catches a relatable, kinetic chord. These guys are the real deal – they’ve got a barn, a van, and a handful of dollars; but listen to their CD or better yet go to a show and you will see why people are listening and buzz is flying about the best new sound of rock – A Verse Unsung.



" Best band I´ve worked with in a very, very long time. Not only do they rock, they write! Ask any professional worth his six string and he´ll tell you without the tunes, the tones are just noise. These guys got da tones AND the tunes covered. I´m looking for A Verse Unsung to do big things. BIG things!"

-Steve Hodge (Grammy Winning Producer)

"A Verse Unsung seamlessly fuses the heavy with sincere melodies and anthem choruses. When you turn it up loud you forget how young these guys are...I wish I rocked that hard at 17. Jake´s vocals are signature which is hard to come by these days in rock music."

Sebastian Davin-Dropping Daylight (Octone Recording Artist)
