Driven by scuzzy guitar riffs and a roaring chorus, it captures the chaos of a relationship on the edge. It\u2019s about frustration and demanding honesty when the excuses have run dry. Speak your mind, face the music, or hit the road!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2018Talk or Walk\u2019 is a raw, no-bullshit rock anthem about love at the breaking point.

Having shared stages with\u00a0Alice Cooper\u00a0and\u00a0Judas Priest, the five-piece have already built a reputation for their explosive live performances, undeniable stage presence and hook-laden rock songs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch\/Listen to the recently released singles \u2018The Greater Good\u2019\u00a0featuring\u00a0Peter Keys\u00a0(Lynyrd Skynyrd) on piano,\u00a0\u2018Adrenaline\u2019 and \u2018Too Far Gone\u2019\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLnWpUNE1fbvVz8_1Syn07z310XYGISQdz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.

Produced by renowned producer\u00a0S\u00f6ren Andersen, the album showcases\u00a0Velveteen Queen\u2019s\u00a0immediate energy and vitality.\u00a0From the teasing riff and maraca-shake of \u201cToo Far Gone\u201d to\u00a0the sleazy bad boy strut of \u201cLiar\u201d with its low-slung, hard-hitting riffs. Yet there\u2019s also full ballad artistry on display with the soulful \u201cChains\u201d, showing that\u00a0Velveteen Queen\u00a0can\u00a0bring it down to strands of raw emotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With\u00a0The Greater Good,\u00a0Velveteen Queen\u00a0will continue to bring their high voltage energy to the stage, delivering full throttle rock \u2019n\u2019 roll shows as they power their relentless rise towards\u00a0rock \u2019n\u2019 roll domination.\u00a0Catch\u00a0Velveteen Queen\u00a0live and experience their full force for yourself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upcoming shows:<br \/>18Sept \u2013 Debaser Nova, Stockholm (SE)<br \/>19 Sept \u2013 Valand, Gothenburg (SE)<br \/>More dates soon to be announced; for tickets and more information visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/velveteenqueentheband.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">velveteenqueentheband.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Greater Good\u00a0\u00a0track listing:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.
