#BandcampRoulette #SoundCloudRoulette! More accurately, SoundCloud submission that we really liked.

The Velvet Hands is a four-piece band (with a singer who strikes a shocking resemblance to Alex from Target) from Cornwall, England, that will probably most likely not come to Boston anytime soon, but hey, you can still download this track for free.

“Described as ‘Cornwall’s latest snotty kids on the block’ by Lee Trewhela of [presumably very important British paper] Cornish Guardian.” Super megastar British paper also reports that The Velvet Hands is comprised of teenagers.
