FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Velvetcut Releases New Single "Do I Do" Featuring a Nod to '90s Grunge and Alternative Rock

Velvetcut, the Finnish band known for their nostalgic '90s grunge and alternative rock sound, is thrilled to announce their return with the release of a new 3-track single/EP titled "Do I Do." Set to drop on August 2, 2024, this release marks the band's resurgence after a twelve-year hiatus and includes the title track "Do I Do" alongside two previous singles, "Perfect American" and "Eating Machine."

Velvetcut's sound, reminiscent of iconic bands like Nirvana, Social Distortion, and Foo Fighters, has captivated fans of the grunge and alternative rock genres. Formed at the turn of the millennium, the band initially garnered attention with their unique blend of gothic rock, eventually transitioning to a more energized rock and roll style. Their discography includes one EP and three full-length albums, showcasing a transformation in their musical direction over the years.

"Do I Do" continues the band's exploration of grunge aesthetics, paying homage to the '90s era that heavily influenced their music. This new track, along with the previously released "Eating Machine" (released on April 5, 2024, coinciding with the anniversaries of Kurt Cobain's and Layne Staley's deaths), reflects Velvetcut's commitment to preserving the spirit of the genre. The band's music and album graphics incorporate the raw, unfiltered essence of Seattle's grunge scene, capturing the nonchalant yet powerful vibe that defines their sound.

Velvetcut has a rich live performance history, having played at major Finnish festivals like Provinssirock, among other notable events. Their upcoming release, through Rockhopper Music—a distinguished label in Finland—promises to entice long-time fans and new listeners alike, offering a tribute to grunge music's enduring legacy.
