*********** Some Reviews
------------------------------------------------
"Vesta Varro have the knack of assembling rousing,
high-calibre songs that effortlessly toy with the
listener's emotions. Check 'Coming Back', 'I Agree'
and 'Babies' for evidence: all have a depth charge
that is impossible to resist. There's also a great
deal of variety: Vesta Varro are a dab hand at both
foundation-quaking rockers and creepy quiet ballads.
In it's own peculiar way, then, Exit Here is just
about perfect. Now go away: I want to play it
again...." 8.5/10

"Pyramid Clocks is the second single from Limerick
based quintet Vesta Varro û and picks up where it's
predecessor Blue Mirror Boy left off. With their
debut album out next week, this track lays down just
what we can expect from the LP, with it's soaring
guitars and epic production"
The Star
------------------------------------------------
"Limerick five-piece Vesta Varro have the same sense
of grandeur and epic as Muse and Royseven, but with
'Weighted Love', there's some dark atmospherics that
add to the passion and drive which overflows in the
track, a taster from the forthcoming 'Exit Here'à
VV's live shows are equally breathtaking, as proved
by their headline performance at Dolan's."
Hotpress, April 2007
------------------------------------------------
"The Headliners, Vesta Varro, are no strangers to
Dolan's, being from Limerick 'n' all. Opener 'Yellow
Rooms' sets the tone of their set, with Damien Drea
pulling the band together for a passion-filled
performance. 'Coming Back', in fact, has the urgency
to stir the quintet into quite a frenzy û which is
equally exhilarating to watch. Meanwhile, 'Weighted
Love' is the perfect medium to show off Mr Drea's
soaring voice. With their debut album in the
pipeline, we predict 2007 is going to be a very good
year for the band. Just watch outà"
Hotpress, March 2007
------------------------------------------------ 'As
it goes Vesta Varro are alot better than yer average
Coldplay. All three of these tunes are sharp fuzzed
'n' buzzed and gorgrous vox drawn big stadium
stylings and genuinely fine playing. All very
accomplished and accessible without being dull or
contrived, just class material.'

-------------------------------------------------
'It's a testament to VV'S strength and depth that
most of their set retains the high standard, too.
Both "Sleeping Song" and "Planes For Pilots" are
big, expansive and deadly, Vesta Varro's twin-cam
guitar sound and inherent punky aggression ensure
they remain very much their own men'

'Next up were Vesta Varro who for me were the stand
out band of the night. Immediately on stage and
their confidence came across in a compelling wave,
the lead singer quickly taking control, throwing
heart and soul into what was a great performance.
Vesta Varro definitely stole the show.' "cpu

'The debut single Blue Mirror Boy / Supa Hero gives
you a taste of what this truly excellent band are
capable of. Vesta Varro are both expressive and
explosive with a style so unique it is hard to
compare them to any other artists out there. Check
them out live while you can and I guarantee you
won't be disappointed with their performance. Watch
this space; these guys are going to be huge'

- Limerick's Vesta Varro show much promise. Their
much anticipated double A-side has been delayed as
interest in the UK has grown. With a sound taking in
early U2, Joy Division, Wire and The Cure. An
assured debut and a band to keep tabs on over 2006.

-- Single of the week:
Limerick loves these local lads, and so does
London's XFM, who tipped them for 2006, and Sex
Pistol Paul Cook, who bought them a drink after one
of their UK shows. This double A-side, produced by
Nick Seymour, nicely blends the epic with the
explosive.
