Fusing classic rock, post punk, and modern alternative music, Love Crushed Velvet have a unique edge as they explore the dark underbelly of the city that never sleeps.<br>\u00a0<br>Love Crushed Velvet&#8217;s new single,. &#8216;Future&#8217;, sees the band take their listeners on a joyride of pure fun and carefree abandonment. The solid backbeat, bold hooks, and electric choruses, by way of cascading guitars, thumping drums, and gritty vocals give listeners a deeper look into the band&#8217;s talent for crafting tracks of substance. Meanwhile, the video that comes with the single is hypnotic and compelling, as it follows a robot marching in a futuristic setting, rebelling against the prevailing powers.
