THE VELVET HANDS – SINGLE REVIEW


The Velvet Hands – Fallout 
The Velvet Hands - Fallout

Release Date: Out Now

When you’re looking for some fighting spirit in amongst the relentless shit tide of bad news that is 2020 then you could do an awful lot worse than checking out Cornish rabble-rousers the Velvet Hands. Sadly, Covid-19 has done for their UK tour dates but that won’t stop the tour-de-force that is new single ‘Fallout’ which is a definite stepped progression from previous releases. Sure, the band retain their trademark energy which has traces of the Libertines, the Clash and very early U2 but there’s more ambition here as they adopt a more confident, almost stylish stance a la the Killers or the Jam. The Velvet Hands juggernaut rolls on and when all this virus stuff is out of the way I would recommend getting to one of their gigs pronto – the pent up energy and desire to perform is going to be borderline sexual.
