Awesome CD! lots of great stuff.

Some really good choices were made with this CD. The advance songs sound awesome - I'm really looking forward to the full length album! The live recordings were very well chosen - They're great playing live to begin with, and they definitely picked some of the best for this. Orangeworker and Restless, Restless are wonderful - while neither is original material, they really show off the guys' talents!

This double EP shows just exactly how talented and versatile the Velmas really are. Opening the cd are pre-releases of original material showcasing the writing talents of Mike Grosshandler and Todd "Figaro" Minnick. Next is a cover song, originally intended for a tribute disc, demonstrating their ability to perform in the style of another band without losing the Velmas-flavor. Always up to a challenge, the Velmas then took the lyrics from a national contest, added their own music, and put together a top-notch entry that performed very well in the contest finals. And just in case you get to thinking that the Velmas are only a great studio band, they filled up the rest of the cd with recordings from a live performance. The energy in their performance and their onstage professionalism is exceeded only by the enjoyment of the audience.

Smart...brilliant...and other words of genius cover what this latest Velmas EP is all about....
Take a look at the actual cd and you'll see some great art by the photoshop master, mike/harvy. The disc alone makes you want to buy the CD...and not just in digital form. You must have this CD in your hands.
the live songs intermingle with the unlive songs in such a perfect way because it just ROCKS...or RAWKS...this begs the question...why isn't this band signed?!
