The Velvet Hands - 4 boys from Cornwall making waves, doing it for themselves!

Press:
“Full of Bolshy Spirit” – NME.   “bolshy, brash garage punk rabble-rousers somewhere between the attitude of early Cribs or Libertines colliding with the death or glory of the Clash” – GodsintheTVZine.   “A satisfying mix of classic punk, rock’n’roll and modern indie magic” – Dork    “we could be witnessing the emergence of another great British band. Jaw droppingly good” – Gigslutz  Plenty more where that comes from!

Swine Tax - Annual Leave

Phosphene presents “Black Sheep,” the new single from their forthcoming album, Transmute, out September 15th.

Lyrics:

Another black sheep
Someone for you to mourn at night
I could feel your bite
Draining once more
Another wound I’m lickin’

Every summer that dog bit
I was a waste, (another gray)
It was a cage to keep me lean
It couldn’t slake

Another black sheep
Someone for you to hide inside
Now I got no fight
It came to the door
And in its jaw I’m taken

Every summer that dog crept
It made its way back in my seams
it found new ways to make me bleed

Never wanted more than what you sold me
Fed me all the lore until it spread

Laying on the floor, I felt it hold me
Never had control of this old friend

You know I’m on your side
Don’t make this a big fight
And in its jaw I’m taken

Every summer that I spent
It thought of ways to never leave
It was a cage to keep me lean
It couldn’t slake

Transmute
