VELVET CRUSH STEREO BLUES Action Musik The latest Velvet Crush album is the band’s attempt to return to the guitar-oriented power pop sound of early efforts like 1994’s classic Teenage Symphonies to God.

In the Presence of Greatness (Action Musik). Review by Sean Slone.
VELVET CRUSH IN THE PRESENCE OF GREATNESS Action Musik A re-issue of the Rhode Island power-pop band's long out-of-print debut album, In the Presence of Greatness is a reminder of the youthful exuberance that defined the group's early work.

VELVET CRUSH FREE EXPRESSION Action Musik I know what you're thinking: isn't this CD only four years old? Why does it deserve the deluxe edition re-issue treatment so soon?

Mass Romantic (Mint). Review by James Mann.
...Occupant" are as well constructed and enthusiastically played pieces of melodic madness as you will ever hear in a month of listening to Big Star or Velvet Crush, with Case's wailing lovepipes leading the way. Gritty guitars, maximum cheese keyboards, and harmonies you could hang a suit on, it's all...

...," the opening cut on this debut release of the Del-Fi 2000 imprint. The song's driving, infectious chorus rolls around the brainpan like the best Velvet Crush, Beatles, or Beach Boys, refusing to leave. Cloud Eleven, which is actually Rick Gallego and a whole bunch of nifty studio toys with Starbelly...

Family Secrets (Smile). Review by Henry "Hank" McCoy.
...of wit on "Snub": "Stock up on your silver liners/I love the little 'isms' that you spout/You're so damned addictive." Bill's songs sound a lot like Velvet Crush to me: "Falling Out" must be an outtake from Teenage Symphonies to God or something. And Bob's big feature song, "Apology," shows off his...

Mere words cannot describe the heaven of this record. Gathering up everything...
...written, not sampled, adapted or otherwise stolen - all in a work that shows something new, something deeper on each listen. Not unlike label-mates Velvet Crush, the Waxwings set high standards.

Mass (Cropduster). Review by Marcel Feldmar.
