The Velveteers are celebrating rock ‘n’ roll’s queer, non-binary, female-fronted future with their new album A Million Knives, out February 14 on Easy Eye Sound. The Colorado trio features two drummers playing on a conjoined kit, behind frontwoman Demi Demitro. They recently described the 13-song collection to Billboard as “exploring the different forms of heartbreak.” And, of course, what better date for its release than Valentine’s Day!
Known for their energy live, The Velveteers have shared stages with heavyweights like Guns N’ Roses and Smashing Pumpkins. This spring, they’ll embark on their first-ever headlining tour across the Western U.S., kicking off with a sold-out hometown album release show in Denver, Colorado, on February 14. Keep scrolling for a full list of tour dates!
Get a preview A Million Knives with “On and On,” named a “Song You Need To Know” by Rolling Stone and selected by Guitar World to GLAAD for best-of lists. Paste called Demitro “one of the most exciting frontpeople in rock ‘n’ roll.”
Here’s my take on the new release: “On and On” is a gritty, hypnotic anthem that feels like a rebellious roar against misogyny in the music industry. It’s the kind of song that hits you the moment you walk into an underground rock venue, instantly letting you know you’ve found the right crowd in the perfect spot!
The Velveteers is a gritty, hypnotic ride that crashes over you in waves of fuzz-drenched guitar and raw, primal energy. Demi Demitro’s haunting vocals weave through the track like a spell, pulling you deeper into its rebellious, unrelenting pulse. It’s the kind of song that feels like it’s always been playing somewhere in the background of your wildest, most chaotic memories. And when you need a break from the buzz of the amps, catch your breath with “Go Fly Away,” also featured on A Million Knives! It’s the perfect breather that lets you float for a moment before diving back into the chaos.
