The Velveteers are a rock band from Boulder, Colorado, fronted by guitarist and vocalist Demi Demitro. The band is notable for a lineup built around dual drummers alongside Demitro's guitar and vocals. They came to wider prominence after signing to Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound label, which released their debut album, raising their profile within the contemporary garage and blues-rock scene.
The Velveteers play heavy garage rock, blues rock, and hard rock, characterized by fuzzed-out riffs, powerful vocals, and the propulsive attack of two drummers. Their sound draws on classic hard rock and psychedelic influences filtered through a modern, raw production aesthetic.
Easy Eye Sound has issued the band's debut on vinyl in colored variants consistent with the label's collectible pressing practices. As a newer act, early pressings of their releases are of growing interest to garage and blues-rock collectors.
