VELVET RUSH

VELVET RUSH deliver powerful 70s-inspired hard rock with a modern edge — raw, soulful, electrifying, and impossible to ignore.

Combining gritty hard rock, vintage classic rock vibes, psychedelic influences, and raw rock ’n’ roll spirit, the Hamburg-based band creates a sound that feels both timeless and fresh.

Frontwoman Sandra Lian commands the stage with her rebellious powerhouse voice and magnetic presence, while guitarist James Moncur, bassist Tim Black, and drummer Daniel Rothe provide the perfect foundation of groove-heavy, 70s-inspired hard rock.

Recorded at the legendary Chameleon Studios in Hamburg with acclaimed producer Eike Freese (Deep Purple, Slash, Simple Minds, Status Quo), VELVET RUSH blend catchy melodies, powerful guitars, and authentic rock energy into an electrifying modern sound.

The band gained international attention with their debut single “Euphonia,” which was named “Best Rock Song of the Week” by Classic Rock Magazine UK in October 2024.

On September 25, 2025, VELVET RUSH released their highly anticipated debut album Trail of Gold, receiving praise from leading rock magazines including Classic Rock Magazine, ROCKS Magazine, and Rock Hard, where the album was featured as “Tip of the Month” and “Tip of the Year.” Their track “Shake That Thing” was also featured on the official Classic Rock Magazine CD sampler.

VELVET RUSH quickly established themselves as a must-see live act, performing with Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains), touring Europe with Icelandic retro rockers The Vintage Caravan, and appearing at major festivals including Rockharz Festival in 2025.

In 2026, the band continues its rise with appearances at Wacken Open Air, Maid of Stone Festival (UK), Riverside Festival (CH), Osteguna Rock Vital Fest (ES), and as special guest on the final European tour of Australian rock legends Rose Tattoo.

With their second album already in the works, more exciting milestones and major live shows are already lined up for 2027, proving that VELVET RUSH are only getting started. Classic rock spirit still burns bright here — louder, dirtier, and more alive than ever.
