Brooklyn alt-grunge-rock band The Velvicks have released three singles before releasing their five-song EP Run. You might have heard the hard-driving single “Hit Me Like Sugar”, which takes you on a wild ride or perhaps “Jones” and “Animal Instinct”. The band claims they draw influences from Pink Floyd, Queens of The Stone Age, Foo Fighters,The Black Keys and Radiohead–and it can definitely be heard in their released singles.
Now, the ongoing pandemic has inspired the band to release a song aptly titled “Lockdown NYC.” Rock At Night is lovin’ this garage-punk inspired song which has attitude and aggression, socking it to COVID-19 with a big EFF YOU. Check out the song below:
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
