Heavy Velvet -- ex-Slow Season (RidingEasy Recs) -- drop new 'Scarlet' EP today



“Drenched in attitude and classic sneer... If you believe rock 'n' roll is supposed to be dangerous, the gospel they're preaching is sure to resonate. – The Obelisk


“Imagines what Janis Joplin fronting Led Zeppelin may have wrought. It’s buzzing with David Kent’s potent riffs and a paint-peeling performance from vocalist, Erika Leigh.” — Decibel Magazine


Austin, TX band Heavy Velvet shares their forthcoming debut EP today via MHF Mag. Hear/share Scarlet EP HERE. (And all DSPs.)


Decibel Magazine recently launched "The Itch" HERE. The Obelisk recently launched the video for "Modern Love is a Shame" HERE (Direct YouTube).


Taking notes from rock titans from Led Zeppelin to Wolfmother to Cream, Heavy Velvet entwines sonic elements of grunge, psych, and blues to create a rock and roll sound all their own. Heavy, unrelenting riffs lay the foundation for the fiery and sultry vocal stylings that drip with a raucous edge. 


Heavy Velvet aims to harness the nostalgic energy of the classics while exploring new uncharted territory through raw, explosive rock and roll energy, and an unforgiving live performance.


Ex-Slow Season (RidingEasy Records) guitarist David Kent, along with powerhouse vocalist Erika Leigh, relocated recently to Austin, TX to assemble a smoldering rhythm section for a sound that evokes classic 60s-70s hard rock with just a touch of 90s grunge.
