Swedish hard-rock risers Velveteen Queen’s ‘Talk or Walk’ is the fourth single from their eagerly anticipated sophomore album, The Greater Good, due for release this Friday, September 18th via Silver Lining Music. Pre-orders are available at this location.
‘Talk or Walk’ is a snarling rock ‘n’ roll track packed with attitude, grit and zero interest in pulling its punches. Driven by scuzzy guitar riffs and a roaring chorus, it captures the chaos of a relationship on the edge. It’s about frustration and demanding honesty when the excuses have run dry. Speak your mind, face the music, or hit the road!
“‘Talk or Walk’ is a raw, no-bullshit rock anthem about love at the breaking point. Say what you mean, fight for what you want — or get the hell out of the way!” – Velveteen Queen
Watch/Listen to ‘Talk or Walk’ here – video directed by Patric Ullaeus.
Velveteen Queen are rapidly emerging as one of the most exhilarating young acts in the modern rock scene, channeling the swagger, and anthemic power of classic ’80s influences into a bold and contemporary sound. Having shared stages with Alice Cooper and Judas Priest, the five-piece have already built a reputation for their explosive live performances, undeniable stage presence and hook-laden rock songs.
Watch/Listen to the recently released singles ‘The Greater Good’ featuring Peter Keys (Lynyrd Skynyrd) on piano, ‘Adrenaline’ and ‘Too Far Gone’ here. All videos were directed by acclaimed filmmaker Patric Ullaeus.
The new album The Greater Good is a record which channels the strut of the Sunset Strip’s glory days via Sweden, with a healthy dash of old-school Guns N’ Roses, alongside spiritual ties to Aerosmith, Velvet Revolver and Hanoi Rocks. Produced by renowned producer Sören Andersen, the album showcases Velveteen Queen’s immediate energy and vitality. From the teasing riff and maraca-shake of “Too Far Gone” to the sleazy bad boy strut of “Liar” with its low-slung, hard-hitting riffs. Yet there’s also full ballad artistry on display with the soulful “Chains”, showing that Velveteen Queen can bring it down to strands of raw emotion.
