Act As If

Act As If was formed by songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Peter Verdell in 2003, with the sole intention of creating music that was both creative and captivating.

After recording 2 self-produced EPs, and currently writing and recording several new songs, Verdell is very confident in the direction of both musical and professional progress.

Recent activity has found the band playing such notable LA venues as The Troubadour, and with esteemed bands including The Higher (Epitaph), Over It (Virgin), Tim Pagnotta of Sugarcult (V2), Self Against City (Drive-Thru), Everybody Else (The Militia Group), An Angle (Drive-Thru), Number One Gun (Tooth and Nail), Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music (Epitaph), and Barcelona (Warner Chappell).

One of the more popular songs on the EP, “Please Catch Up,” was recently licensed for an upcoming primetime ABC reality show entitled “Greg Behrendt’s Wake Up Call.”

The band is very hopeful and anxious to continue laying the foundation for a successful career, and diligently working toward opportunities to gain friends, fans, and like-minded business partners. They believe in music being one of the most incredible forms of expression and art, and want to affect people in ways that their favorite bands and artists have affected them.
