The Veils

The Veils (formed in 2002) is a New Zealand band based in London, fronted by Finn Andrews. His father, Barry Andrews, was a founding member of XTC. Their sound has been compared to artists as diverse as Jeff Buckley, The Birthday Party, The Smiths, and Joy Division. Their live shows have become famed for their emotional intensity and Finn's often scarily possessed stage presence and his unique singing voice. They released their debut album, The Runaway Found, in Spain late in 2003.
