Varials "Where The Light Leaves" Backpacks and Pierre “Duke” de Reeder—

and Pierre “Duke” de Reeder— are back

inserts with full lyrics

becoming one of the most important underground bands Britain has ever produced

and they compare themselves to earlier generations

The Grammy-winning producer's work includes Paramore

Varials "Where The Light Leaves" Backpacks and Pierre “Duke” de Reeder—Varials, formed in Philadelphia, built their name on raw honesty across their early records. Their 2025 album WHERE THE LIGHT LEAVES marks a rebirth, pulling from their heaviest roots and introducing Skyler as the bands new frontman. Produced by Josh Schroeder, it captures them at their most instinctive. Onstage, Skyler, Mike, Sean, and Shane remain one of heavy musics most cathartic live forces.
