The Velvicks
The Velvicks
The Velvicks, like all the best rock and roll stories of the early 21st century, can be traced back to abasement. With influences from Pink Floyd, Queens of The Stone Age, Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, and Radiohead, the band delivers heart-pounding rock that is at once familiar and distinctive. The sounds of the band members individual experiences combined with a shared passion for authentic rock and roll. “Songs are making sense; the band is delivering badass live performances and people are responding to it.” says Vick Nader -
