Vaeda is an American three-piece alternative rock band formed in Brooklyn, New York in 2003. In September–October 2005 Vaeda was the Number 1 unsigned artist on the Myspace music charts and has since been featured in films, television and national tours including the Vans Warped Tour and Rockstar Taste of Chaos.
The band was based in Long Island, New York. The name originates from an alternate spelling of the word Veda which are the original sacred texts for the Hindu religion. The word itself means "knowledge" in Sanskrit. Additionally, there is a backronym derived from the name: Very Awesome Extra Double Awesome.
In 2006, Vaeda released their debut album State of Nature with the independent label Playtyme Records. Songs from that album have been featured on CBS - NCIS ("All For You") and Fox Television promos for Prison Break and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles ("Battle Song").
In late 2008, Vaeda appeared in the MTV Games Rock Band 2 national television commercial.
They since parted with their former label and recorded an album titled Unsafe at Any Speed. Songs from the album can be heard on MTV's The Hills ("Breathe", "Fake The Moment") and The Girls of Hedsor Hall ("Breathe").
Vaeda has performed with and toured with the following acts: Thirty Seconds to Mars, Flyleaf, The Used, Anberlin, Framing Hanley, Rev Theory, Pop Evil, Saosin, Senses Fail, Haste the Day, and Chiodos.
