    Verdict, formed in 2006, is made up of five guys who have the internet to thank for their friendship. The five members are: Chris (vocals), Nick D. (bass), Tyler (guitar), Cruz (guitar), and Zakk (drums). Ass-kickin' riffs, addictive vocal melodies, and a beefy rhythm section are the defining traits of their unique sound. Using these elements, they fuse together genres ranging from blues to metal. Influences span from Queen to Avenged Sevenfold, Seether to Metallica.

    During the summer of 2008, the band recorded their first full-length album. The album, "Hold 'em High", includes re-worked versions of the six songs from their previous demo as well as six brand new songs. "Hold 'em High" was recorded at several locations throughout the Champaign area and was recorded and produced by Eric Gross. The band self-released this album in hopes of being picked up by a reputable label.
