    Artist History
    On The Verge first started to take shape in September of 1997 with Tom Cooke meeting Brent Pilgrim at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, NB. They jammed together very often over the year playing cover songs and became good friends. Upon returning to Fredericton the following school year, September of 1998, they met bassist Jeff Waite and started jamming. Soon afterwards the band adopted the name of "On The Verge", a suggestion from a mutual friend. From there the group played a few shows which were mostly covers and then started writing their own material. The very "home recorded" demo CD is the result of those sessions, and since it was recorded very late in the school year there was very little time left to record. A direct result of this is the rough sound of the recording in many aspects, only first and second takes were recorded because of the lack of time. However, the group believes that this gets some of their basic musical ideas across. Recently, On The Verge acquired a new vocalist named Nathan MacDonald. Nathan is from Tom's hometown of Amherst, Nova Scotia, and is looking forward to collaborating on the band's future material. On The Verge is currently looking for any record company to consider them as their next project so they can record a proper demo and moreover have the chance at a full length album. They currently have 12 songs written and would like to have the chance to record them in a professional setting. The group is currently spread across the country, however they still keep in close touch with one another and continue to collaborate and write music thanks to the wonders of technology.
