The Scarlett Uprising was founded by Brandon Bloxdorf in El Paso, Texas in the summer of . Brandon had been learning bass for a year, and decided to start a band. He recruited a close friend Cory Dewitt, to be his guitarist. Cory had been playing guitar for five years, and the two began working on ideas for their future band. Brandon had become friends with another bassist, Mike Carmelo. At first, they wanted a drummer, and Mike had mentioned that he wanted to play the drums. But it was decided that since Mike had gotten a new guitar, that he would be the guitarist and singer of Scarlett Uprsing. The band had become Brandon on bass, Cory on guitar, and Mike to play guitar and sing. The three began working on songs, but they still needed someone to fill the slot of a drummer. Brandon posted a request on his schools , and it was soon answered by soon to be drummer Patrick Doran. Patrick lived in Oklahoma at the time, and had only been playing drums for months and had never been in a band, but Scarlett was willing to give him a shot at being their drummer. Cory, Brandon and Mike began working on a song that they were to finish by the time Patrick moved to El Paso. During this time, Brandon and Mike had the first thought that mabey Cory wasnt clicking in the band, but this thought was discarded when Patrick finally arrived in El Paso. Soon the band began practiceing, mostly at Cory Dewitts house, but soon Patrick's house was found more confertable. More so, tension soon rose again between Cory and the rest of the band. Cory was called a week before their first show, and was talked to about this problem. Cory agreed to shapen up, and the band stayed together for the time being.

"Every song we write about is about hope, whether it's about hoping to get the girl back, being in a better place, or not being spiteful or cynical. Veering away from the dark and into the light."
VEER was formed in late 2004 by Crispin and guitarist Eric Schraeder. Originally from Port Alberni, BC, the two longtime friends surprisingly found themselves living as neighbors: "we knew each other previously because we had played in bands together. We were both living out of our rehearsal studios in downtown East Vancouver," recalls Crispin.
At the time Crispin was the front man of Everything After, where creative differences led to his departure. While the remaining members of Everything After regrouped under the name Hedley, Crispin was gaining attention as a songwriter with credits on Motley Crue's drummer Tommy Lee's solo CD Tommyland: The Ride. Eric, who had recently relocated back to Vancouver after a stint in Los Angeles with 40 Foot Echo (Hollywood Records), was working on projects of his own. Next drummer Beni was brought into the fold who has established himself as one of the top drummers in the city. Finally Roots, and Fid who play bass and guitars respectively came on board to round out VEER's lineup.
Much of VEER's music is a reflection of their life experiences. "Wish You Well" and "Sold Me Out" clearly demonstrate a positive message while showcasing their skills as songwriters. "Wish You Well" is about the area we're living in," explains Crispin, "looking at people who can't turn their lives around. No matter how rough a time we're facing, our life isn't that bad. The only thing we can do for them is to wish them well."
VEER recently finished their debut full length CD with producer Dean Maher (Trapt, Atreyu, Rise Against) at Green House Studios in Vancouver, BC.
