    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.
