Jupiter In Velvet is quite unlike anything you’ve heard, yet something you’ve always felt. Drawing on a huge plethora of influences including The Beatles, Stones, Bowie, Who, Duran Duran, U2, Prince, Pretenders, Early 80’s punk & new wave, Little Richard, Hives, and so many more, Jupiter In Velvet melds & blends them together in a starkly unique way. The end result? A new sound with an old feel. From the words of reviewers we have these comparisons…
Sounds like: David Bowie started a band with Nick Rhodes, Keith Richards and the Edge.
Sounds like: Squeeze meets the Rolling Stones.
