After two years of being broken up, Providence, RI’s VERSE are excited to announce that the band has reformed and will be playing shows and recording a new album in 2012.

VERSE vocalist Sean Murphy commented, “I think it just really came down to us missing playing music and the chemistry we shared in our creative process. Things just got a little crazy in our lives at home, with being on tour all the time, having all this weight to carry and people to keep happy. It really ended up burning us out. We needed some time to step away and focus on having some sort of stability for a while.” The band went on to take a two-year-long hiatus and in that time, members Eric Lepine, Zak Drummond, Chris Berg, and Shawn Cost, along with Murphy, started talking again, and “…it just clicked and made sense. I know I’m very happy to sit in a room again knowing that we are fine with each other and the way we are as individuals. VERSE was and is once again a very important part of our lives. It’s without a doubt one of the most creative and challenging things we’ve done in our lives”, Murphy said.

The band’s first show back is scheduled for February 11th at AS220 in Providence, RI and they will also make an apperance Belgian music festival Groezrock in April 2012.
