LYRICS
Panic stations, it feels like vertigo
Might be misreading it but even so
Did you ever notice that idea start to grow?
Misinformation on the radio

I don't like it but you reap what you sow
So misleading with that puppet show
My advice is to forget what you're told
Shout and kick and scream until our blood runs cold

Nothing to prove nothing to lose
And if you take that like you're on the outside looking in

Give me something with meaning
And I will show you something to believe in
But if you just try and deceive me or mislead me
You better run before the claws come out

Hazy illusions are clouding up the sky
All those visions leave you asking why
My intention is to live and let live
Give everything you've got till you've got nothing to give

Nothing to prove nothing to lose
And if you take that like you're on the outside looking in

Give me something with meaning
And I will show you something to believe in

But if you just try and deceive me all the lies that you hear blurring out your TV
It is your mission to heal division so go and rally all the people who will listen

Panic Stations

Part of Cornwall’s blistering garage-rock scene, and now a focal point of London’s underground guitar scene, The Velvet Hands (Toby Mitchell, Dan Able, Louis Mitchell and Sam Hilder) have an unashamed love of guitar based songwriting.

The band have supported the likes of Liam Gallagher, Fontaines DC, VANT, YAK + Wallows to name a few. They've toured nationally selling out dates in London, Truro, Cardiff and Glasgow. The band have also received airplay from the likes of Steve Lamacq at 6 Music, John Kennedy at Radio X and Sarah Gosling at BBC Introducing South West.

Of new single Holiday In My Head, guitarist Dan said: “It’s based on our own experience of the doldrums of being skint, working your arse off to be able to afford a postage stamp sized flat, only to have to shave in the kitchen sink because the landlord won’t fix the one in the bathroom. Take that and then put it in lockdown, it felt like the walls were closing in - very claustrophobic. You can’t escape to anywhere apart from your own daydreams. The song is an anthem of escapism in the modern era”.

Still DIY, still fiercely independent!

Holiday In My Head

Shady Baby - Come To Life

It's 10.30am on a Tuesday morning. Office party last night was a mess. CEO made a pass at Kelly from Commercial and then performed three rounds of “The Boys Are Back In Town” on the karaoke. You did about seven pints then slipped a French exit a good few hours before it wound down. Could have been worse – but you’re struggling today as the excel spreadsheet you’re faced with hammers you repeatedly in the head like a grim magistrate passing judgement on last night’s ordeal.
 
If I can only make it ‘til lunch, you think. The local is down the road – a few halves of the good stuff and I’ll be right as rain. As the minutes start to tick on you start to feel a little better, strengthened by the image of alcohol-induced relief. You take lunch early and fly (as the crow does) straight down the road to the palace of pints. Three quarters of an hour hence, and you’re a little more human and a little less like a human dartboard.  
 
Darts. What a fantastic idea, you think. Suddenly its 2.30pm and Tim from Accounts is next to you, Guinness in hand. I bloody love beer, you grunt at him before shoving your hand into a bag of whatever crips had the silliest flavour, in search of greasy ebullience.
