VELVETCUT UNLEASHES NEW SINGLE "RUN RABBIT RUN" – A POWERFUL HOMAGE TO FINNISH ROCK LEGENDS SMACK

Release Date: Thursday, April 10th, 2025
Label: Rockhopper Music
For Fans Of: Nirvana, The Hellacopters, Stone Temple Pilots

VELVETCUT, the Finnish band renowned for their nostalgic ‘90s grunge and alternative rock sound, is making a triumphant return with their latest single, "Run Rabbit Run." The track, originally released in 1984 by Finnish rock pioneers Smack, serves as a tribute to the band that left a lasting impact on the global rock scene. Smack’s raw, high-energy style was an inspiration to some of the biggest names in rock, including Nirvana and Guns N’ Roses. Notably, Nirvana even performed "Run Rabbit Run" live in their early days, a rendition that still circulates among fans on YouTube.

Produced and mixed by Topi Wiio , VELVETCUT's version of "Run Rabbit Run" injects new life into the track while staying true to the grit and spirit of the original. With their signature fusion of grunge and alternative rock, VELVETCUT breathes fresh energy into a song that once echoed through the underground rock scene of Los Angeles.

"Run Rabbit Run" serves as the final preview before the release of VELVETCUT's highly anticipated album, set to drop on May 16th via Rockhopper Music. This marks a new chapter for the band, known for their evolution from gothic rock roots to a bold, hard-hitting alternative sound. Having performed at major festivals like Provinssirock , VELVETCUT has solidified their place in the Finnish rock landscape, and now, they are ready to captivate both long-time followers and a new generation of rock enthusiasts.

The release of "Run Rabbit Run" is more than just a cover—it’s a testament to the enduring influence of Smack and a nod to the band’s role in shaping the alternative rock soundscape. As VELVETCUT continues to honor the past while forging their own path forward, this latest single is a must-listen for fans of gritty, authentic rock and roll.

"Run Rabbit Run" will be available on all major streaming platforms on April 10th. Stay tuned for more details about VELVETCUT’s upcoming album and tour dates.
