PRODUCER DAN AUERBACH

ON TOUR NOW SUPPORTING DES ROCS

“[Demitro’s] alternately powerful and passionate vocals exude personality, and the songs with acoustic and electric approaches are varied enough to never fall into predictability. It all coalesces into one of the more impressive, duskier guitar-driven albums of the year.” - American Songwriter

“…a massive hit of swaggering rock style… their stripped-back sound taps into something fresh, nasty, and primal.” - Under The Radar on Motel #27

“this isn’t despairing music—it’s actually inner-demon-struggle music.” - FLOOD Magazine on Father of Lies

“Nightmare Daydream is heavy, raw and filled with the spit-and-fire passion that makes the Velveteers stand out among competitors, a reminder that rock, as a genre, is far from dead.” - Westword

TORONTO, ON – October 8, 2021 – Nightmare Daydream, the debut album from formidable rock trio, The Velveteers, is out today via Easy Eye Sound; stream/share here. The record was produced by GRAMMY Award-winning producer, Dan Auerbach.The band is on tour now as the sole support for genre-bending rocker Des Rocs; order tickets here.

Four singles preceded today’s release, most recently Father of Lies, which premiered with Flood Magazine, Brightest Light, Motel #27, which premiered with Under The Radar and the record’s lead single, Charmer And The Snake.

The Velveteers, made up of Demitro and dual drummers, Baby Pottersmith and Jonny Fig, opened for Guns N’ Roses in August in Denver, CO, underscoring their reputation for uniquely energetic live performances. Westword praised the show in their recent cover story about the band, writing: “Audience members around me were mesmerized as Fig and Pottersmith smashed their drums in sync and Demitro sang with unparalleled intensity.”

Growing up in Boulder, CO, Demitro rebelled through her guitar, practicing up to nine hours a day and neglecting schoolwork to develop a playing style that is heavy but agile, theatrical but nuanced, grounded in rock history but wholly idiosyncratic. With drummers Baby Pottersmith and Jonny Fig playing on a conjoined set, the band developed a reputation for their riotous performances. Clips of the band’s live shows and DIY videos made it back to Auerbach, who invited them to his studio in Nashville to produce Nightmare Daydream. The album finds The Velveteers stripping down rock and roll to its most primal elements—the riff, the rhythm, the snarl—and rebuilding it in their own image.
