Verah Falls was founded fall of 2010 by vocalist Craig Prater in Portland, Oregon. Craig asked friend Grant Slewitzke to help with a demo and together with Producer Stephan Hawkes, they recorded a track called "The cover up, uncovered" which was later used on the Ep. Craig then went on the search to find the current line up. The group went on to record a 5 song EP at Interlace Audio again with Hawkes in their hometown. After local touring they received attention from BlkHeart Group and signed onto their roster that includes Molotov Solution, Destruction Of A Rose and No Bragging Rights.[1]
In June 2011 the band released their debut EP All Our Yesterdays on iTunes, to mixed reviews. Ryan Williford of online review site Audiopinions stated that "The instrumental parts were well written and there is nothing here that is beyond their skill or them trying to force anything into a song. One of the best factors about the band is that nothing takes priority over another aspect of the sound.",[3] while Vic Vaughn of Metal review site MetalSucks simply stated that "Uh, wow, another shitty melodic emo-screamo hard-kee-yore band. It sucks. Ignore it."[4]
