Band Biography:One listen to Velvet Razor and its immediately obvious that this is a band that enjoy making music together, there are no cynical motives just a genuine passion for what they do.
Having formed four years ago (2003), Velvet Razor haven't wasted time in trying to establish themselves as a fixture in the UK South's live music scene. 2005 saw the band play at Guilfest 2005 and proving to be a minor sensation of the festival. They were unknown latecomers to the festival, playing the notoriously difficult first slot on the Surrey Advertiser stage. Initially they played to a nearly empty marquee, but half way through their set, the crowd started to pour in from outside. The band followed Guilfest 2005 by playing at the GBOB 2005. They did a string of pub gigs in the Surrey area.
In 2006 they have gone in to the studio to record their new EP Razors Edge in mid June. The recordings are a showcase of the bands diverse live set, which They hope will add fuel to their growing reputation as a band on the ascent. More recently they played at the Ents24 stage at Guilfest 2006 (The 2nd largest stage). VR are set to go back in to the studio to record a whole new cd album in early June 2007.
