VELOURIAS

VELOURIAS is a band you won’t want to miss. Hailing from Ireland, this trio—Phil (Guitar & Vocals), Rob (Bass & Vocals), and Nick (Drums)—delivers electrifying live performances and a razor-sharp sound that blends alternative rock, post-punk, indie, and hardcore into a high-energy mix that has caught the attention of critics and fans alike.

Their debut self-titled album was hailed as one of the best Irish rock albums of the year, with Hotpress describing it as a “full-on, alt. rock tour de force with killer choruses.” But it's their latest single, Taxidermist, that has truly propelled them into the spotlight. Voted Single of the Year 2024 by Music Love Music, the track is a powerful exploration of “human trust, corporations, mortality, and selfishness” (Nialler9). Accompanied by a cutting-edge music video directed by Miles Davis Murphy, Taxidermist further solidified the band’s reputation for both musical and visual artistry.

With their bold sound, VELOURIAS has earned attention from top Irish radio stations, including Dan Hegarty's The Alternative on 2FM, Radio Nova, Dublin City FM, and Limerick Live 95. Previous tracks like “We Float Down Rivers,” “Old Age Home Lament,” and “A Forest of Lungs” have also been widely played, gaining the band a loyal and growing following.

2025 is shaping up to be a big year for VELOURIAS, as they’re named Ones to Watch for 2025 by music journalist Tony Clayton-Lea. With a new album in the works, this band is poised to make an even bigger impact, continuing to captivate audiences with their high-octane sound and thought-provoking lyrics.
