- Rock Revival Magazine -
We’re not just another band — we’re here to bring the attitude, energy, and unapologetic spirit of classic rock back to life. Inspired by the golden era of glam and hair metal, our sound blends big riffs, loud guitars, and anthemic choruses with a modern edge.
​
Velvet Vandals is a studio-based project built on creative freedom. We use a hybrid approach to music — combining real vocals, live elements, and modern production tools to shape the sound exactly how it’s meant to be heard. No limits, no rules — just whatever serves the song.
​
This is where you step into our world — the stories behind the music, the journey behind the sound, and the passion that drives everything we create.
​
Velvet Vandals is about turning it loud, living in the moment, and keeping the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll alive.
​
Welcome to the ride.
Velvet Vandals isn’t just a band… it’s a statement.
​
Built from obsession, grit, and a refusal to play it safe, Velvet Vandals is the sound of raw ambition meeting unapologetic rock ‘n’ roll attitude. Fronted by Steve Vandal, the project blends the swagger of classic 80s glam and sleaze with a modern,​ independent edge — no rules, no compromises.
​
This is music made the way it used to be… loud, honest, and larger than life.
​
Behind the scenes, Velvet Vandals is a hybrid beast. Studio-driven, creatively free, and built for the modern world, the project fuses real musicianship with cutting-edge production. Every track starts as a vision — then gets rebuilt, layer by layer, into something real. Guitars get replaced, vocals get pushed to the edge, and everything is crafted to hit hard.
​
At the core of it all is Steve Vandal — songwriter, frontman, and driving force — backed by a tight circle of musicians, including drummer Proudy, bringing weight and power to the sound.
​
The result?
Big hooks. Dirty riffs. Anthem choruses. Pure sleaze hidden within catchy lyrics.
Its music that feels like it belongs blasting out of a dive bar at midnight… or a stadium at full volume.​
Its music for the ones who’d rather burn out than fade out.​
Its just our music, our energy, and a relentless drive to create something that lasts.
​
This is Velvet Vandals.
​
And this is only the beginning.
