Slothrust is the brainchild of singer/guitarist Leah Wellbaum and drummer Will Gorin — a duo approaching a decade since their fiercely innovative debut Of Course You Do. The band first bonded over a shared love of blues and jazz and has since continued to create rock the way they know best, moving it forward with an expansive and unconventional lean.

Since their debut, Slothrust have supported acts like Manchester Orchestra, Front Bottoms, and Highly Suspect and built a large touring audience for their visceral live performances. For five seasons, their track “7:30 AM” was featured as the theme song for FX Series “You’re the Worst.” In 2021 the band released their four record Parallel Timeline, a cosmic, emotionally charged EP that dug deep into questions of identity, time, and perception.

In 2023, Slothrust surprised fans with a bold, slow-burning cover of Ginuwine’s “Pony,” reimagining the ’90s R&B classic through a smoky, rock-laced lens. Equal parts sexy, strange, and groovy, the cover signaled a new chapter — one rooted in experimentation and unexpected collisions of genre.

That journey continues with their newest single “Wild Card,” a standalone release produced with Willy Beaman, who’s worked with the likes of Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland, and Sky Ferreira. Leaning deeper into an R&B-rock hybrid, the track is hypnotic, pairing slinky summertime grooves with heavy low-end and Wellbaum’s signature vocal magnetism.

The Velveteers bring a visceral energy to their explosive sophomore album, A Million Knives, loaded with blistering rock anthems infused with melodic indie songwriting. With GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Dan Auerbach at the helm, the Boulder, CO trio encapsulates the raw, forceful, and profoundly heavy power of their live performances and laser-focuses a spotlight on tightly crafted songs as they carve out their own distinctive niche.

The Velveteers have built a dedicated following through relentless touring and electrifying performances, sharing stages with renowned acts such as Smashing Pumpkins, The Black Keys, Greta Van Fleet, Guns N’ Roses, and Des Rocs. With A Million Knives, The Velveteers offer a compelling testament to their rising stardom, a rock ‘n’ roll album as beautiful as it is electrifying.
