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. 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.
After writing for months with such a positive attitude, it was time to find band-mates who shared their mindset. While recording the first batch of “TVU” songs Eric and Crispin were introduced to Roots and Fid through a mutual friend. The four musicians became close friends in these studio sessions before they had even picked up instruments to jam with one another. Roots and Fid had played in a band together prior to this, and after numerous North American tours had decided it was time to do their own “veering” away from an unpleasant situation and join Crispin and Eric.
Finally the last piece of the puzzle was put into place when the band met drummer, Neil. As the youngest member of the group, Neil, was forced to learn the ways of this industry very quickly but this was something he was more than ready to strive for.
After nearly two years of endless touring arcross the continent, the band signed a record deal with Universal/Motown Records out of New York City. The label had taken notice of the hard working group and it is now time to hit the studio to record the bands Major Label debut with producer Greg Archilla (Collective Soul, Matchbox 20, Buckcherry).

"Living Not Alive"
Now I know why, you couldn't breathe
Locked in a life that you can't leave
Now I know why you couldn't heal
Stuck in a world that you can't feel
In silence you are fading
Crumbling and breaking
Said that you're mistaken
But you're numb to what you need
Can someone rip you open?
And break what has been broken?
Before there's nothing left to bleed
You drift into the darkest skies
I can see the life leave your eyes
It's buried beneath your crooked grin
It's fighting to fuel the fire again
How to lose your hypnotize
Drowning in the taste of your lies
The star that would shine, now it dies within
You're lost in the life that you're living in
And I can see you're living
But you're not alive
The scars you're creating
Smiling and Faking
When will you awaken,
You succumb to the disease
Like a whisper in the weather
Nothing lasts forever
Now I know why, you couldn't breathe
You're locked in a life that you can't leave
Now I know why you couldn't heal
You're stuck in a world that you can't feel
You drift into the darkest skies
I can see the life leave your eyes
It's buried beneath your crooked grin
It's fighting to fuel the fire again
How to lose your hypnotize
Drowning in the taste of your lies
The star that would shine, now it dies within
You're lost in the life that you're living in
And I can see you're living
But you're not alive
But you're not alive
(You're not living!)
You drift into the darkest skies
I can see the life leave your eyes
It's buried beneath your crooked grin
It's fighting to fuel the fire again
How to lose your hypnotize
Drowning in the taste of your lies
The star that would shine, now it dies within
You're lost in the life that you're living in
And I can see you're living (Living!)
But you're not alive (Living!)
But you're not alive

THE VEER UNION (2018) – LIVING NOT ALIVE (Traducción)
Now I know why, you couldn't breathe
Ahora sé por qué, no podías respirar
Locked in a life that you can't leave
Encerrado en una vida que no puedes abandonar
Now I know why you couldn't heal
Ahora sé por qué no pudiste sanar
Stuck in a world that you can't feel
Atrapado en un mundo que no puedes sentir
In silence you are fading
En silencio te estás desvaneciendo
Crumbling and breaking
Desmoronándote y rompiéndote
Said that you're mistaken
Dijeron que estabas equivocado
But you're numb to what you need
Pero estás bloqueado respecto a lo que necesitas
Can someone rip you open?
¿Puede alguien hacerte trizas?
And break what has been broken?
¿Y romper lo que ha sido roto?
Before there's nothing left to bleed
Antes de que no quede nada que sangrar
You drift into the darkest skies
Te dejas llevar a los cielos más oscuros
I can see the life leave your eyes
Puedo ver la vida abandonar tus ojos
It's buried beneath your crooked grin
Está enterrada bajo tu retorcida sonrisa
It's fighting to fuel the fire again
Está luchando por avivar el fuego de nuevo
How to lose your hypnotize
Cómo perder tu magnetismo
Drowning in the taste of your lies
Ahogándote en el sabor de tus mentiras
The star that would shine, now it dies within
La estrella que debería brillar, ahora se muere por dentro
You're lost in the life that you're living in
Estás perdido en la vida en la que estás viviendo
And I can see you're living
Y puedo ver que vives
But you're not alive
Pero no estás vivo
The scars you're creating
Las cicatrices que estás creando
Smiling and Faking
Sonriendo y fingiendo
When will you awaken,
¿Cuándo despertarás?
You succumb to the disease
Sucumbes a la enfermedad
Like a whisper in the weather
Como un susurro a la intemperie
Nothing lasts forever
Nada dura para siempre
Now I know why, you couldn't breathe
Ahora sé por qué, no podías respirar
Locked in a life that you can't leave
Encerrado en una vida que no puedes abandonar
Now I know why you couldn't heal
Ahora sé por qué no pudiste sanar
Stuck in a world that you can't feel
Atrapado en un mundo que no puedes sentir
You drift into the darkest skies
Te dejas llevar a los cielos más oscuros
I can see the life leave your eyes
Puedo ver la vida abandonar tus ojos
It's buried beneath your crooked grin
Está enterrada bajo tu retorcida sonrisa
It's fighting to fuel the fire again
Está luchando por avivar el fuego de nuevo
How to lose your hypnotize
Cómo perder tu magnetismo
Drowning in the taste of your lies
Ahogándote en el sabor de tus mentiras
The star that would shine, now it dies within
La estrella que debería brillar, ahora se muere por dentro
You're lost in the life that you're living in
Estás perdido en la vida en la que estás viviendo
And I can see you're living
Y puedo ver que vives
But you're not alive
Pero no estás vivo
But you're not alive
Pero no estás vivo
(You're not living!)
(¡No estás vivo!)
You drift into the darkest skies
Te dejas llevar a los cielos más oscuros
I can see the life leave your eyes
Puedo ver la vida abandonar tus ojos
It's buried beneath your crooked grin
Está enterrada bajo tu retorcida sonrisa
It's fighting to fuel the fire again
Está luchando por avivar el fuego de nuevo
How to lose your hypnotize
Cómo perder tu magnetismo
Drowning in the taste of your lies
Ahogándote en el sabor de tus mentiras
The star that would shine, now it dies within
La estrella que debería brillar, ahora se muere por dentro
You're lost in the life that you're living in
Estás perdido en la vida en la que estás viviendo
And I can see you're living (Living!)
Y puedo ver que vives (¡Vives!)
But you're not alive (Living!)
Pero no estás vivo (¡Vives!)
But you're not alive
Pero no estás vivo

Went to a concert a few years ago for another band. When TVU played their new single "Living Not Alive" that was the first time I ever liked a band in concert without even knowing their songs... And they picked me to go on stage and take a crowd picture with them so that was pretty cool 😄
