About

Forged in the white heat of indie’s golden age in the 80’s, Vernons Future play at the poppier end of the indie spectrum. They think you’ll like their music if you like XTC, Blur, The Bunnymen, Lightning Seeds, The Teardrop Explodes.

After releasing acclaimed debut album ‘Smithdown Road’ in 1990 (Melody Maker said it was “a fine debut in love with pop at its most unassuming and most charming”), The Vernons (as they were then) split.

Reformed as Vernons Future, the band rejoined a very different indie music fray, releasing their sophomore album ‘Aquaplaning’ in 2022. New single ‘Steerpike’ is garnering great reviews.

“Love it…it’s a great record…a beautiful piece of recording” ~ Mickey Bradley, The Undertones & BBC Radio Ulster DJ
