"This is a great release that will please Stoner Rock fans and fans of classic 70's rock."

If Tony Iommi and Nancy Wilson had a love child, his name would have been Dave Marrs. In 2005, after years of honing his talents, Dave met Brandon Malone, a throwback to older times, looking for someone to jam with. When Brandon heard Dave's first riff, he wanted to have Dave's love child, but settled for complementing his riffs with lyrics instead. It was then, that Southern Vein was born. After writing and playing all over Virginia for three years, Brandon and Dave "in order to to form a more perfect union" set out to find a new rhythm section. Enter bass playing guitarist Shane Rippey, who brought with him the creative and motivational surge to get them back, better than ever. The answer to their proverbial "prayers" for a modern day Ginger Baker were answered as Joss Sallade joined in on drums. The year 2009 brings the release of "The Witch Is In" an EP done by themselves, for themselves, and for anyone else who "get's
it".

Southern Vein have a Southeast US tour tentatively scheduled for August of 2009. Shows will be scheduled in VA, NC, GA, LA, TN and WV or AL.
