Indie rock, with grunge and punk undertones. The Verbals are a three-piece from Devon featuring Matt Smart (guitar and vocals), Ali Mackenzie (Drums and vocals) and Guy Squires (Bass). Taking influences from bands such as The Strokes, The Cribs, Sonic Youth, Pavement and Pixies, The Verbals are raw, with brash guitar lines and drum beats kept under control by pop sensibilities. "The Verbals' articulate riffs are energetic, noisy and deliberately rough around the edges. There's a pop aesthetic stitched into their livewire indie-punk that makes them a bundle of fun" Jamie Harper, SoundCheck.
