The Velmas on purevolume™

Alternative / Rock / Indie

The Velmas are a kickass rock band from Albany, NY that is ready to take over the world. The Velmas have earned a name in the Capital Region and beyond as one of the best acts around.

In 2002, the Velmas released their debut album, Another Day At School. Since its release, the album has received rave reviews and has opened doors of opportunity for the band. This was followed by Recess (2004), a double EP featuring new and unreleased studio tracks, as well as several live tracks. The Velmas released their second full-length album, Station, on City Canyons Records on October 31, 2006.

The Velmas are three singers and songwriters creating powerful rock music. Their sound is influenced by old-school to modern rock, punk, reggae, and even country and classical. In concert, the Velmas back their music with a playful, high-energy live show, which is the reason why Albany-area "Velmites" have voted them the Capital Regions "Best Alternative Band" (Metroland, 2006).
