Time to Break the Spell is the debut album from Canadian rock band The Veer Union. The album was first self-released by the band, in 2006, when the band was still under their original name, "Veer".[3] The album was reissued under their current name, The Veer Union, on August 9, 2011.[2]
Work on the album started shortly after the band was founded in 2004 by vocalist Crispin Earl and guitarist Eric Schraeder.[4] Earl had been fronting the band "Everything After", and working on Tommy Lee's album solo album Tommyland: The Ride, while Schraeder had been playing with the band Forty Foot Echo; however, neither was happy, and decided to instead form their own band with each other.[4]
The two wrote and created the album mostly by themselves, with them meeting future bassist and second guitarist Mark Roots and James Fiddler, respectively, after the sessions were over.[5] Upon seeing them around the studio, they were befriended, and later asked to join the band, and tour in support of the album.[5]
The album was initially self-produced and self released in 2006.[1] The initial run was limited to 1,000 copies.[1] After the band would receive major record label attention with their release of Against the Grain in 2009, the band would later re-issue the album in August 2011.[5] A newly recorded 2011 track, "I Will Remain", was added to the album.[5]
