"Unsigned Brit Trio get set for stardom."
Rocksound, September 2008
"Verra Cruz offer bleeding, grown up rock. Innocence is a bluesy cauldron of classic style numbers, laced with sexy lap steel riffs and ripe guitars."
Classic Rock, September 2008
"...with Innocence their second album, they once again prove themselves to be honest men with important things to say and big powerchords to say them with. For whether they are thrashing manically (Blind Man), locking themselves into a Hendrix groove (Freedom) or getting all weepy on Friend To You, Verra Cruz are always in control of their own metal destiny."

British rock band Verra Cruz was named as the winning band of the Gibson Guitar and Olympus LS-10 Unsigned contest. Verra Cruz will now open on the Gibson Stage at the Download Festival on Saturday 14th June. The band was chosen by a distinguished panel of music industry insiders: Kerrang's Katie Parsons, BBC Radio 1's Dan Carter and industry A & R specialist Olivier Behzadi.
Verra Cruz was chosen to perform on the Gibson stage at Download from over 350 unsigned bands that entered this unique online contest. A & R specialist Olivier Behzadi said "The Verra Cruz clip had all of the judges on the edge of their seats. A superb 3 piece and a great performance…,they were HUGE! All the judges were unanimous, we've found our winner".
Marc James lead singer of Verra Cruz said of his bands win "We are honoured (and a bit shocked) to be given the opportunity to rock at the Download Festival on Saturday 14th. In the video that we posted, I was playing my 1950's Gibson Lap Steel, it will be coming home to grace the Gibson stage, bring it on."
