It's been a long road since “The Monroe Mansion” days. New York-based rock group The Velvicks are kicking off the new year in rising fashion. Frontman Vick Nader talks about his musical upbringings in his native country in Brazil, and how specific moments on picking up his first guitar paved the way for him as an artist. The journey's been a wild one, and Vick describes his everlasting love for the music, and how the pandemic was a time for him and his bandmates to dig deep. Their debut EP, titled “Run” was released during these times and since then, The Velvicks have caught the attention of many outlets across the world such as Brooklyn Vegan, Earmilk, and MXDWN. Enter 2022, and The Velvicks are back with one of the more contemporary sounds of garage rock and roll that one can ever witness. Almost as if we are seeing a rebirth of the 90s sounds. Vick talks about the writing processes that went behind the new singles “LA” and “Cha Cha Cha,” and how they can serve as a sneak peek into what's to come for their highly-anticipated debut album. Plenty of surprises in store for the year and Vick Nader could not be more ready for the spotlight. Tune in now to our conversation with Vick from The Velvicks, and be sure to stay on the lookout for new music from this up-and-coming rock quartet.Stay connected with The Velvicks, visit: https://thevelvicks.com/, https://www.facebook.com/thevelvicks/, and https://www.instagram.com/thevelvicks/Stay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/
