4 boys from Cornwall England making waves
Press:
“Full of Bolshy Spirit” – NME. “bolshy, brash garage punk rabble-rousers somewhere between the attitude of early Cribs or Libertines colliding with the death or glory of the Clash” – GodsintheTVZine. “A satisfying mix of classic punk, rock’n’roll and modern indie magic” – Dork “we could be witnessing the emergence of another great British band. Jaw droppingly good” – Gigslutz, “Sucker Punch is another fab album from The Velvet Hands” – Louder Than War. Plenty more where that comes from!
