The creative vision of songwriter Alex Skora, the music of Love Crushed Velvet is inspired by post-pandemic Manhattan and the “untapped chaos of urban life” – taut, visceral songs that retain the spark of late-night jams. Blending alternative, glam, and classic rock into a contemporary sound, the band has been called “future superstars” by Black Velvet Magazine – “pure, throaty, blood-pumping stuff to get the masses moving” – and their live show is reminiscent of the glory days of rock and roll. With their debut album getting ready to be released in July, look for Love Crushed Velvet to take the show on the road.
