The Velvet Hands Unveil New Single "I'll Be Free"

London based rock n’ roll/garage band The Velvet Hands have unveiled their new single “I’ll Be Free“.

The song is out today, September 20 and is follows their single “Chick Habit (featuring Pythies)“, released back in May.

Commenting on the track, they said:

We wrote this song after looking back on videos of some of our earliest shows in Cornwall. These were DIY, sweaty + over capacity shows that formed our bands sound + life. We wanted to write a song that would still make those crowds bounce around and I think we’ve just about managed it“.

Grab it here and take a listen below.

The Velvet Hands are Toby Mitchell, Dan Able, Louis Mitchell and Sam Hilder. Blending slacker story-telling with belting guitar riffs reminiscent of The Strokes or Parquet Courts with rousing punk choruses that recall The Clash, the band formed amidst Cornwall’s blistering garage-rock scene before relocating to London and making a name for themselves on the capital’s underground guitar circuit. Last year, the band released their second album ‘Sucker Punch‘.
