    'Darkness Meets the Light'[audio://townsquare.media/site/84/files/2012/08/Vairon-Darkness-Meets-the-Light.mp3]

    VAIRON has the sound of Linkin Park, The Used, and 30 Seconds to Mars thrown together into a giant stir-fry. Every element is good by itself, but when they come together as a whole, they create something greater. There's the combination of melody and hardcore, singing and screaming, and a hint of electronics that tie each song together. The great alternative rock sound that has been inspiring up and coming bands for years with some pop and R&B flavor added in.

Unsure of how to classify the kind of music he was writing he decided to blend the two types of music that it sounded most like, alternative and country.
