Biography
The ideology of Velvetcut is based on the sweet union of extremes: both the darker and the lighter spheres of life, turmoil and tranquillity, sense and insanity, the ugly and the pretty. This is reflected in the music as a combination of cruel, distorted sounds and tender, atmospheric vocals and catchy melodies. "Deep, atmospheric rock" is probably the best category to describe a band that is on a mission to bind together heavy American rock and the kind of gloom that can only be extracted from a Finnish melancholic mind, and spice it up with a hint of beauty and optimism. In addition to the sound, the band is also aiming to produce a equally strong visual performance.
The line-up has varied, but the solid base of the band remains around Ostrobothnia and in Seinäjoki. They call it the Texas of Finland, a suitable place for melancholy. After four years of action, the irreplaceable core of the band has grown from lead singer Tomi into a quartet of Tomi, six-stringer Topi, Sami on bass and Andy behind the kit, providing a live experience combining true passion and skill.
