The Sound Of Letting Go

Artist

Velvet Rush

Velvet Rush backstory

Hailing from Hamburg, Velvet Rush fuse NWOBHM energy with blues rock swagger and a timeless groove.

The Sandra Lian-fronted quartet burst onto the scene with Classic Rock Magazine track of the week Euphoria in 2024.

And Velvet Rush picked up the pace with critically acclaimed debut Trail Of Gold.

Guitarist James Moncur, bassist Tim Black and drummer Daniel Rothe look and sound like the real deal as the perfect foil for the charismatic Lian.

Sharing stages with a bunch of big names including Jerry Cantrell and The Vintage Caravan, Velvet Rush are fast forging a reputation as a must-see live sensation.

And The Sound Of Letting Go follows hot on the heels of metal banger The Nature Of The Beast.

In singer Sandra Lian’s own words

“The Sound Of Letting Go is a song about change, self-belief, and the courage to let go.

“It’s about capturing those moments when life takes an unexpected turn.

“And it’s about reminding us that these very moments often pave the way for a true new beginning.”

The verdict on The Sound Of Letting Go

Is Sandra Lian a latter-day Doro Pesch?

It might be jumping the gun to compare Velvet Rush’s striking frontwoman to the original — and best — metal queen.

But Lian boasts the pipes, the passion and the stage presence (check out The Sound Of Letting Go’s video clip) to pick up the baton for Pesch et al.

And she’s backed by a band that wouldn’t have sounded out of place opening up for mid-80s Warlock.

The Sound Of Letting Go is the sound of something seriously exciting.

It’s the sound of a band readying itself for next-level success.

And it’s the sound of retro-powered hard rock potential realised.

What’s next for Velvet Rush

Album number two is incoming after the band laid down new music with acclaimed producer Eike Freese at Hamburg’s Chameleon Studios.

Catch Velvet Rush at festivals across Germany throughout September.
