'''Remove The Veil''' is a four-piece [[southern rock]] and [[Christian]] band from [[Opelika, Alabama]], founded in January of 2005. They are currently signed to [[Facedown Records]].
== History ==
== History ==
The band was initially a five-piece [[indie rock]] band consisting of Hendrix, McCall, Hood, Coxwell and then vocalist Michael Sasser. They released an EP in 2005 with 5 songs. In mid-2005 Sasser left for another band, and the band decided to put Hendrix on vocals and guitar rather than find a replacement. After the change in lineup, the band also decided to write all brand new songs with a more southern rock style. In the summer of 2006 the band won a local "battle of the bands" called Indie Wars held by The Core, a Christian venue in [[Columbus, Georgia]]. The grand prize for winning Indie Wars was free time in a studio. The fall of 2006 saw the release of their first EP as a four-piece band. After endless dates of tours, shows, and internet play, the band was signed to Facedown Records in early 2007.

==Trivia==
''Watauga'', the name of the sixth track on ''Another Way Home'' was chosen by vocalist/lyricist Mark Hendrix for its "dark, foreboding sound, that belonged to a prison's name, along with the familiarity that it brings of Native American words so ingrained in the South." Watauga is also the Cherokee Indian word for "the land beyond."
