PropertyOfZack spoke with Brad Wyrosdick from Veara a few weeks ago for a great interview. Brad and I discussed the shift in recording for their new album, the writing process for the record, future plans, and much more. Read up below!
For the record, could you just state your name and role in Veara?
I’m Bradley Wyrosdick and I play guitar and sing for the band Veara.
It was announced that the band was hitting the studio in October of last year, did that happen?
Actually no, it did not happen. We had some scheduling conflicts so our management just told us, “You guys should take advantage of the time and use it for writing.” So we decided yeah, that would be a great idea and we’ve just been hard at work writing. Every night, we get together and we’ll put together some songs. If we already have music, because we have a lot of music, then we’ve just been putting lyrics to them.
Since you were panning on recording instead of touring, was that just kind of a letdown? Not being able to tour in the second half of the year too much, that is.
Not so much, I mean we were expecting to be writing anyway. It’s always a letdown when you’re like, “Aw man I can’t go on tour,” but it wasn’t a big deal. We just took it and said, “Alright, let’s just flow with it” and now we’ve just been writing, constantly writing.
I assume if you guys were ready to hit the studio in October, so you must have had a bunch of songs done. So are you just adding more and more songs to the mix?
We didn’t really have a whole bunch of songs when we were going in [the studio] in October. But we were going to try to use that as more of a demoing time to get some really solid sounding stuff like preproduction I guess. We recently got a Macbook and some other stuff and we basically just go to Patrick’s house and use it. We just sit in his room and we just think of ideas. Or one of us, will show up and say, “Hey I have this idea,” and another person will say they have an idea too and we’ll just put it all together. It’s a pretty laid back writing process. We do it pretty much every day except Fridays and Saturdays and we work on top of that. We haven’t had anything really set in stone because of writing, as far as touring goes or anything else because we’re trying to take this one step at a time. We want to make sure that we have our eye on the prize, and are not worrying about a tour coming up or something like that.
Has is been difficult to not have all these concrete plans yet? And are you worried at all about being away for too long?
I mean, not really, it does keep people waiting, which I guess isn’t the greatest thing. But at the same time, we’re trying to put out the best record we possibly can. And it won’t be much longer now before we actually get some time booked. That’s all going to actually come around pretty soon. But, I’d say, it’s not the greatest thing in the world, obviously, keeping people waiting. But we want to make sure it’s a really great record and if it takes time…That’s just how we write. A lot of bands can pump out songs, and it’s crazy to me. I mean that’s cool, that’s just how they work, but that’s not how we work, you know?
Veara have been said to be working on new music for quite some time now, and the band is finally demoing out some new songs. Check out a tweet from the band below by clicking “Read More.”
