“Sounding like a cross between Gwen Stefani and Lzzy Hale, VERIDIA... is the confidence boost you need for your weekend.”
“‘I Won’t Stay Down’ is both a battle cry and an ode to the discovery of inner strength... powerful guitar riffs and heavy drums, roaring and soaring higher as the song goes. Raw and intense, ‘I Wont Stay Down’ provides heart-wrenching lyrics and a strong melody.”
“Amy Lee and VERIDIA are giving us goosebumps over here.”
“With a dynamic set and a raft of great material written over their decade together, Veridia are something special and have the crossover appeal to be a global name. It’s only a matter of time before they fill the space as headliners.”
“Not only are they incredibly talented and energetic musicians, but from their interactions with the audience, they are down to earth, humble, and deserving.”
