HEAVY VELVET share “Modern Love is a Shame” single

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 CreamHeavy 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.

At the tender age of 10, he was dutifully pumping 10ps into the Jukebox to listen to AC/DC’s Whole Lotta Rosie and Iron Maiden’s Run to The Hills constantly, much to the chagrin of everything else in the Youth Club! Ro then went to his first gig – SAXON! Since then all music has been his passion, with metal at its heart.
