The band Verity in Stereo (formerly known as Hip Like Blank) hails from New Jersey/NY and in my belief should be big this year. I guess if we had to play the categorization game I would call them something along the lines of Indie pop/piano rock. Who knows really? It is no easy task to define them in such a manner. What I can say is that they are a unique band with a sound that needs to be heard. When you listen, it’s a nice break from the mundane, everyday “stuff” you often hear on the radio. Starting out as a duo made up of the Kuhi syblings, Kiirstin and Mikal, they produced songs uniquely their own, drawing from roots in jazz, rock, pop and even hip hop. With bassist, Greg Boccieri and drummer, Craig Williams aboard the band is complete. I had the fortune of seeing them at their CD release party at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park last weekend, and they were incredible. To say the band put on a good show would be an understatement. Having said that, I can’t wait to see what this band is capable of in the future. No words I can convey will do well enough to give you an idea about this band. You must, must, must, listen for yourselves! Enjoy!
