VU

Originated in Oregon, USA, VU was a Christian Melodic Rock group founded by singer and composer Bart Hafeman. Their aim was to create a bunch of arena-ready, anthemic songs rich in melodies, catchy choruses and pretty elaborated harmony vocals. VU debuted with "All I Need Is U" in 1996, and were instantly compared with Def Leppard. Their Melodic Rock songs are extremely melodious indeed, plenty of big choruses adorned with super-harmonies and an overall pristine, clean sound. Members were; Bart Hafeman (lead and backing vocals), David Karn (lead guitars, backing vocals), Jason Looney (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), (Joe Swaim bass, electric guitar), and Jason Martinez (drums, percussion, backing vocals).
