Release Date: 22nd September 2017
Cornish chaps the Velvet Hands
have a reputation. A rock’n’roll reputation, for sure, but also a reputation
for being perfectionists when it comes to the creative process. Latest release ‘Games’
is a re-release of an old demo track but given a new spin with a dandy new
video too. The choppy, garage infused guitars that rattle through the opening
bars of this track are infectious in a Babyshambles kind of way with that gang
vocal and furiously strummed chords in danger of tripping over themselves. A
chaotic rhythm section stays just on the right side of controlled and the
lyrics get spelt out with Scrabble tiles at a furious pace which give you
something bordering on well-read epilepsy. So, literate, grungy, fun and
energetic. Ugh, they’re probably handsome too *checks video*, yes they are.
