Austin, TX band Heavy Velvet shares the first single and official video from their forthcoming debut today via The Obelisk.
Taking notes from rock titans from Led Zeppelin to Wolfmother to Cream, Heavy Velvet entwines sonic elements of grunge, psych, and blues to create a rock and roll sound all their own. Heavy, unrelenting riffs lay the foundation for the fiery and sultry vocal stylings that drip with a raucous edge.
Heavy Velvet aims to harness the nostalgic energy of the classics while exploring new uncharted territory through raw, explosive rock and roll energy, and an unforgiving live performance.
Ex-Slow Season (RidingEasy Records) guitarist David Kent, along with powerhouse vocalist Erika Leigh, relocated recently to Austin, TX to assemble a smoldering rhythm section for a sound that evokes classic 60s-70s hard rock with just a touch of 90s grunge.
