Veruca Salt skyrocketed to fame in 1994 with the alternative radio mega-hit
"Seether" off their Minty Fresh debut album "American Thighs," and followed with
an equally successful sophomore effort, 1997's "8 Arms to Hold You." After
co-founder Nina Gordon left to pursue a solo career, lead singer/guitarist
Louise Post reformed the band with guitarist Stephen Fitzpatrick and drummer
Kellii Scott, to produce 2000's critically acclaimed "Resolver," described by
Chicago Sun Times' Jim DeRogatis as "the best album to be released under the
band's Willy Wonka-inspired moniker, as well as one of the strongest albums of
the year ... a galvanizing rock 'n' roll statement in a pop-dominated time." The
success of Veruca Salt's 2005 EP "Lords of Sounds and Lesser Things" and its
accompanying US tour secured the band a record deal with indie label powerhouse,
Sympathy for the Record Industry. Now six years after Resolver, Post and
Fitzpatrick have been joined by bassist Nicole Fiorentino (Radio Vago), and
rejoined by drummer Kellii Scott (Failure, Blinker the Star, Enemy), to create
the fourth and latest full length Veruca Salt album, "VS4," which is slated for
release in September 2006. Produced by Rae DiLeo (Filter, Army of Anyone),
"VSI4" features the classic heavy guitar thunder, pop sensibility, and
soul-wrenching lyrics of previous Veruca Salt efforts, coupled with the stirring
musical maturation of Louise Post and Co. Songs written and performed live to
worldwide acclaim over the past six years (such as "Blissful Queen," "Save You,"
and "The Sun") have been combined with powerful new material, and the resulting
effort promises to be the greatest Veruca Salt album to date.
