Put on your high heels and dust off the old TOTP albums the party is about to kick off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Velvet Insane<\/strong>&nbsp;were formed in 2013 as a four piece outfit but by the time of their self titled debut album they were billed as a duo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first album took them around the world touring Europe, Japan, USA &amp; Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their critically acclaimed debut was a fresh mix between classic rock, pop, inches of folk influences and it also contained traces of early 70\u2019s British glam rock. And the band kept walking that glam track and now they\u2019re back as a trio and this time it\u2019s glam glitter boogie all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They hired the cult glamrockers&nbsp;<strong>Diamond Dogs<\/strong>&nbsp;frontman&nbsp;<strong>Sulo<\/strong>&nbsp;as a producer and together they\u2019ve created a bright shining monster. You can hear the Sulo influence for sure in the epic opener &#8221;Bamalama Breakout&#8217; with all its mid seventies Glam rock n hollerbaloo going on its loud and proud and leaving you in no doubt that Rock and Roll is in the house now crack open the bubbly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;High Heeled Monster&#8217; is certainly well titled if you&#8217;re looking for a description as to what this sounds like. &#8216;Boogie Star&#8217; has a cowbell and a hoof footed Rock solid beat and big chorus its Mott The Hoople for the 21st Century and I&#8217;m down with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smooth pop harmonies pumped up by heavy drums and barbed wire guitars and singer that wear it well. It brings back memories of a time when Slade, TREX, Bowie &amp; Mott we\u2019re topping the charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Velvet Insane   Damage Control (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WW6RYFBnrgA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From the catchy singalong choruses of the pop gems&nbsp;<strong>\u201cVelvet Tongue\u201d<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>\u201cRiding the Skyways\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;<strong>\u201cSound of Sirens\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;to the frantic boogie energy in barroom stompers&nbsp;<strong>\u201cDriving down the mountain\u201d<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>\u201cBackstreet Liberace\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;<strong>\u201cSpaceage DJ\u201d<\/strong>, it\u2019s the real thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also get a glimpse of Ziggy Stardust in the acoustic ballad&nbsp;<strong>\u201cMidnight sunshine serenade\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Velvet Insane are a band that plays with their hearts on their sleeves and it\u2019s satisfaction guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dregen<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Nicke Andersson<\/strong>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<strong>The Hellacopters<\/strong>&nbsp;jumps in the backseat in&nbsp;<strong>\u201cBackstreet Liberace\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;and just like Rolling Stones honored the tradition of Muddy Waters blues Velvet Insane takes on the job to keep rock \u2019n\u2019 roll alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy <a href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/high-heeled-monster\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/high-heeled-monster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swedish rockers release the retro rama-lama-retro album of the year.
