Hot For 2025: VERA

VERA

Led by shamanic singer Sarah Toner, who cut her musical teeth performing in the West End, this quartet burst onto the NI scene last year, and have already released four singles into the wild. Fusing the playfulness and sharp hooks of mid-’90s Britpop with witty lyrics about modern love and life, VERA have plenty of substance to back up the style.

Hear: ‘Leave Me Alone’

Watch: Their live set at Oxfam in Belfast
