Members include Kyran Million (vocals and guitar), Taliesin Cook (guitar), Bret Noel (trumpet and percussion), and Phillip Rogers (Drums). With their combined efforts, Verna Beware produces a sound all it's own, it's experimental aspirations backed by it's rock roots, delivers a sound that will make you feel yourself floating away into the sky.
"If Verna Beware's blues-ridden psychedlia sounds familiar, there's a reason. It all started at San Marcos High School, where founding members Kyran Million, Taliesin Cook, and Bret Noel began jamming with the social circles of the school's music program, going on to form The Donner Party in 2007. Since graduation, the three core members have retired The Donner Party and gone through a series of different projects that have formed into their current gig. After trying different combinations of members under former names like Run Rabbit Run, the five members of Verna Beware have finally found a formula that works. As a result, every aspect of Verna Beware's sound is tighter and more experienced than its predecessors, from Million's lyrical ability to Cook's experimental guitar work.
