While contemporaries like Swervedriver and Lush were getting the press, Velocity Girl were quietly making some of the most emotionally direct guitar pop of the era on a regional label that would eventually help define the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGetting their start as the 1980s bled into the 90s, Velocity Girl arose from a new pop underground that had been percolating in Washington, DC and it's suburbs, a group of bands clustered around our then-nascent Slumberland Records who broadened DC's punk paradigm with an ear for pop songs and feedback-driven racket. Velocity Girl, blessed with multiple gifted songwriters, particularly knew how to merge euphoric pop hooks with waves of noisy bliss and lovelorn melancholy.This new compilation \"1989-1992\" covers the band's pre-Sub Pop years and shows that their skill with a tune was there from the beginning, across several line-up changes and numerous early releases. The all-time classic \"Forgotten Favorite\" is included, as is their debut single \"I Don't Care If You Go,\" featuring original vocalist Bridget Cross (later of Unrest). There are also crucial split single and compilation contributions, a few choice covers (Beat Happening, The Jam) and even a pair of unreleased tunes.Newly remastered and featuring extensive liner notes by DC scene scholar John R. Davis, \"1989-1992\" is the comprehensive view of their early years that Velocity Girl has long deserved and their fans have long wanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Care If You Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot at All\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Care If You Go (Acoustic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Know Exactly What You Mean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat's Entertainment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat You Say\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTales of Brave Aphrodite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForgotten Favorite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Should I Be Nice to You?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm\/Crawl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 749846030627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slumberland Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.28.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48072251146401,"sku":"230745397","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/7038\/5569\/files\/packshot-velocity-girl-1989-1992-cd-relix.jpg?v=1791942206","url":"https:\/\/store.consequence.net\/products\/velocity-girl-1989-1992-cd","provider":"Consequence Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
