Velveteen Queen
The story of the Swedish rockband Velveteen Queen begins in 2021 when 4 guys meet at high school and decide to start a band, soon the singer Samuel Nilsson also joins who immediately moves to Gothenburg and then things are going fast for the band and a lot is happening in a short time.
Despite their youth, these talented individuals, all aged between 20-23, have accomplished more than most bands dream of.
Already in March 2022, they released their debut single "TRAUMA" on Spotify and other digital services and with only four singles released, Velveteen Queen has already managed a lot, such as playing at some of Sweden's biggest festivals such as Sweden Rock Festival, Skogsröjet Festival, Kristianstad Rockfest, Malmöfestivalen and toured through Sweden with Nestor and has been a member of Hardcore Superstar on several occasions.
Velveteen Queen also released their first self released vinyl "The Theater Sessions" in February in conjunction with the Nestor tour.
The band has just finished recording their debut album, which is named "Consequence of the city" and was released on May 3. The first singles released before the album were "Take me higher" and "Barrel of a gun" released in late 2023 and in January 2024 "Dreamer" was released. On April 19, "Bad Reputation" will be released, which was the last single to be released before the album release.
Videos have also been made for each of the songs that are released in connection with the respective release, both videos are filmed by Patrik Ullaeus (rEvolver Film) who made videos for, among others, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Europe, Evergrey, September, Amaranthe, Amorphis, Hammerfall, Dream Evil, Dimmu Borgir, Children Of Bodom, Kamelot, TSOOL and more.
The album is being recorded in the prestigious Crehate Studios, where iconic records from bands such as In Flames, Halo Effect, Crash Diet, Hank Von Hell and others have been recorded.
Excitement mounts as Velveteen Queen gears up for a busy year ahead, including performances at Sweden Rock Festival alongside legends like Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, and Megadeth.
The band is also scheduled to open for Mammoth WVH in June and embark on their inaugural European tour with Nestor this autumn, covering Germany, Austria, Switzerland.
Velveteen Queen takes audiences by storm with their raw sound that harkens back to the late 80s and early 90s with inspiration from legendary bands such as Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver.
The music industry predicts a bright future for Velveteen Queen and it's only a matter of time before one of the major record labels takes notice of this young Swedish band's raw talent and undeniable energy.
