Cornwall outfit The Velvet Hands have pledged to save music venues across the country; raising money for the Music Venue Trust.
Now they return with new single ‘Back On A Winner’. A gritty real-talk social commentary record, it comes paired with an acoustic version due next month (November 6th).
Following up on ‘When This Is Over’, The Velvet Hands are hammering out the positivity lately. As spiritely as ever, this new effort a pedal-to-the-metal indie anthem, continues their mission to power through times of adversity.
‘Back On A Winner’ is the song everyone needs to kickstart their autumn, a no nonsense, thrashy garage-rock record with addictive vocal chants and an inimitable grooving swagger that only this four-piece can create.
Match this up with the soothing, intricate tones of the acoustic version, and you’ve got one of the go-to one-two punch packages of 2020.
“Back On A Winner’ is about the resentment that everybody feels when they see someone who appears to have it all. It sums up the universal feeling of wanting to eat the rich, preferably served on a bed of their gold leaf caviar, just out of pure raging jealousy. Throughout the song our narrator keeps on fantasising about getting his own back on the rich kid in question, whether that’s by kissing his wife or burning his golf cap, he’ll find a way to get himself back on a winner.”
