Niverse

Niverse began forming in 2001, and has evolved significantly since. The band's current line up of two brothers and two good friends was finalized in the summer of 2006, at which point things really started to pick up.

Niverse's music has been recorded by several producers, initially as an experiment, but later in attempts of finding the perfect sound. In August 2007 the band set out to record a top-notch 3-track demo after being introduced to the owner of 199 Studios. The intention was to have a tangible item representing what Niverse actually sounded like as their sound kept improving, as well as to have something that could be presented to the existing fan base in the interest of expanding it.

At the time, 3 other tracks - "Voice In My Head", "Red Sun" and "Guelph" were being developed and had earned enough positive feedback to actually warrant a 6-track "EP" instead.

And so came Niverse's first ever and long-awaited official release in May 2008, "Grow".

Niverse has been influenced by a variety of different artists and genres, with roots in hard rock, punk, and alternative. In their spare time, they might be caught listening to artists like Finger Eleven, Radiohead, Green Day, Death Cab For Cutie, Our Lady Peace, Alexisonfire, Tool, Underoath, and Thrice - to name a few.

Only since 2006 did Niverse have the chance to line up opportunities to play live shows, with more than a full album's worth of various music written. Even early on in their live career, they were awarded 2nd place at a "Band Wars" event hosted at the El Mocambo in March 2007.

They plan on progressing with a series of live shows in 2009 and onward to promote "Grow", while constantly improving and continuously writing. Also planned is the arranging of more exposure through concerts, festivals & contests, as well as many other interesting media projects.
