Vary Lumar was formed in 2004 by Paul De Pasquale (vocals, guitar), and Rob Fusco (drums, fx). Later Ben Case (guitar, effects), and Rob Laff (bass) joined to round out the quartet.
Waiting Room is the band's debut release and the follow up to their EP The Cold Heart Bru Hah Hah released in 2006.
Vary Lumar's music seems to be following a growing trend of taking rock music and stretching its boundaries to create unique new styles of the genre.
On Waiting Room they take a base of rock and add in progressive and modern rock elements along with psychedelic and experimental to achieve their band's style of rock music.
The band refers to their music style as being 'Pre- Apocalyptic Psychedelic Rock.' When asked about their material band member Paul De Pasquale described it as being, "Watercolor Chaos."
The band's music is driven by wailing guitars and drum beats that like to run free in the songs, along with the occasional sound effect added in to give the songs that little extra punch.
The band likes to use repetitive chords along with repeated vocals that add an almost echoing effect to the songs. While most of the songs have driving tempos the band also mixes in the occasional more melodic track for a change of pace along with several instrumental tracks.
The band has a lot to say and gets a lot of it off of their chest in the 13 tracks found on Waiting Room.
Overall Waiting Room is a solid release that offers a lot for the listener to take in while still rocking your socks off.

Got to check out their entire album online on their website and I was pretty impressed! Kind of reminded me of a mix of Radiohead, Aberdeen City, Muze and Coldplay... Anymore information would be greatly appreciated.
additional info: Waiting Room was recorded at 37" Productions in Rockland Ma, With producer/engineer Sean McLaughlin and was mastered by Jeff Lipton of Peerless Mastering in Boston, MA.Short after each member finished their college studies, Vary Lumar spent 1.5 years from start to finish creating what they hoped to be a defining album of what Vary Lumar is all about. As the actually physical release will be on 2.19 , Vary Lumar will be setting out on some small tours later this year. Please check out our website www.varylumar.com for more music, videos, lyrics and more. Thank you for anyone who has taking the time to listen and share their thoughts.
