The Velvet Hands, the London-based Cornish quintet, have reemerged with an extended edition of their second album Sucker Punch. They’re also hitting the road on a UK tour, so read on for dates.
The Indie-Rock outfit have also announced a nine-stop UK tour next month, with the first show in London’s Colours on 1st November.
The upgraded vinyl of Sucker Punch, slated for release on 3rd November via Krautpop Records, features two bonus tracks: ‘Fallout’ and ‘This Feeling’, the latter of which has hit the 100,000 streams milestone on Spotify.
Their new single, ‘Meet Me In The City’, is described in a press release as a sunny Indie-Rock anthem “meant to be played in the sunshine with your mates.” The band say it’s “a carefree and fun track, written in Falmouth back when the biggest drama was who was sleeping with who and when the next party was.”
The boys have been turning heads for a while now. Their first album caught the attention of Huw Stephens, making it his ‘Album of the Week’ on Radio 1. With accolades from BBC 6 Music, Radio X, and BBC Introducing, and having opened for acts like Fontaines D.C., Paul Weller, and Liam Gallagher, The Velvet Hands are a band worth keeping an eye on.
