VELCROS – STRANGE NEWS FROM THE VAULT CD

Just over half a year after the release of their 5-song debut EP “Spit Takes”, VELCROS are back with their first album “Strange News From the Vault” on Crazysane Records. You could say that this record is the result of a period of exuberant creativity and exploration: immediately after completing “Spit Takes”, the trio felt inspired to continue writing and finding ways to expand their musical playing field in different directions. This is immediately evident in the album’s opener, “Starting Now”, which sets a compelling new tone in the band’s musical repertoire with its heartland rock vibes reminiscent of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. All the elements that made the debut EP so appealing are still there, just in a more refined and sophisticated form, and bolder in their exploration of genres, contrasts and extremes.
