Gothenburg rocks!<\/p>\n<p>Velveteen Queen\u2019s \u201cThe Greater Good\u201d is an album filled with feel-good rock. Party music. There are a lot of hints and references to the catchy hard rock of the 1980s here. The members of this promising Swedish band weren\u2019t even born in those days, but the music from that era has clearly influenced them. The album is a nice melting pot of \u201880s influences, but without sounding dated. Some songs, such as the Guns N\u2019 Roses-infused \u201cCan\u2019t Go Back in Time\u201d, have taken the sounds (but not the songs) of old favourite bands and brought them to life again. \u201cAdrenaline\u201d is a three-minute song full of catchy energy. It\u2019s Velveteen Queen at its best. At times, the band slows down and walks into power-ballad territory. But I prefer these Swedish rockers when they play faster, wilder and louder.<\/p>\n<p>The music is catchy. The band has attitude and swagger. And they can back that up with both musicianship and songwriting skills. They haven\u2019t reinvented the wheel, but they have created a great rock album with catchy melodies, hooks and riffs. The Gothenburg-based band released its debut album in 2024. They are now taking the next step with an even better album.<\/p>\n<p>Velveteen Queen\u2019s new album \u201cThe Greater Good\u201d will be released on 18th September via Silver Lining Music.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/velveteenqueentheband.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/velveteenqueentheband.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/velveteenqueen.gbg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/velveteenqueen.gbg<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/velveteenqueen_band\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/velveteenqueen_band<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Catchy Swedish rockers Velveteen Queen are back with a great follow-up album.
