The Velveteers are bringing the rock back to 2025 with their upcoming album A Million Knives and an insane U.S. tour to match. Dropping on Valentine’s Day (yep, love it or hate it), the new album promises to give fans even more of their signature “buzzing pile-driver” sound that’s been causing a ruckus since their debut Nightmare Daydream. And, they’re not stopping there — they’re hitting the road HARD in March 2025, so get ready to feel the raw energy that has critics calling them one of the best live shows in the biz.
If you haven’t heard of The Velveteers yet, allow me to introduce you to your new obsession. The trio, led by powerhouse frontwoman Demi Demitro, is already making waves in the rock scene, and with this album, they’re about to explode even more. Alongside Demitro are dual drummers Baby Pottersmith and Jonny Fig, who play on a conjoinedkit, because why not make their sound even more insane? Seriously, you have to hear it to believe it.
Their latest singles, “Go Fly Away” and “Suck The Cherry”, show just how much they’ve evolved, combining gritty alt-pop vibes with a raw emotional edge. “Go Fly Away” is like a cathartic escape from everything, while “Suck The Cherry” is a whole mood, where Demitro gets real about being fed up and feeling vulnerable. The mix of those two tracks alone gives you a glimpse into what A Million Knives will be like — intense, emotional, and ready to tear the roof off.
And it’s not just about the music — this band’s story is just as compelling. A Million Knives is the result of the band’s exhausting stretch of life on the road, tackling the mental and emotional toll of the music industry, especially as a non-binary, queer, and woman-led rock band. They’ve faced all the ups and downs, and you can hear that struggle in the album’s thirteen tracks, which include bangers like “Suck The Cherry”, “A Million Knives”, and “Go Fly Away”. And let’s not forget about the debut album Nightmare Daydream, which led them to play with legends like Guns N' Roses and Smashing Pumpkins.
So, where can you catch them in action? Well, they’re playing a ton of rad venues across the West Coast, Texas, and more. Some of the newly-announced dates include The Echo in LA, The Funhouse in Seattle, and The Empire Control Room in Austin. Plus, the band’s kicking things off with a home-state album release party in Denver on February 14, and they’ll be hitting spots like The Rebel Lounge in Phoenix and White Oak Music Hall in Houston. Mark your calendars, because this is one tour you won’t want to miss.
