It was great to see David Burke’s review of our self-titled album in the latest issue of R2 Rock’n’Reel Magazine.

They said, “Davie Duncan’s vocals are both tough and tender, and Laurie Cuffe’s lead guitar lines mostly ardent, occasionally angular (especially when he throws angular Marc Ribot shapes on “Hey Véloniño!”). The whole thing is anchored beautifully by the savvy rhythm section of Kenny McLellan on second guitar and Shug Jamieson’s big bass.”

The album is available now in physical and digital formats from veloninos.com, iTunes and Amazon.

We were really happy to see UK Rock’n’Roll Magazine review our recently released self-titled album in their May 2016 issue. Be sure to check ’em out at www.ukrock.net.

They said, “this collection transported me to a different time and place (in this instance mid-50’s USA) […] so when Véloniños tell me ‘I’m an Alabama man, born and bred’ I’m happy to go along with it, on the condition they keep on singing it at me.”

The album is available now in physical and digital formats from veloninos.com, iTunes and Amazon.

Thank you Quinn from 24OurMusic for sharing your thoughts on the album!

“There’s something surreal about listening to a band sing about being from Alabama when they’re from Glasgow. The thing is, if you didn’t know they weren’t from the southern US, you would go along with it, even praise it as great rockabilly. And geographical origins aside, it is simply great Americana music.”

Thank you John from Shakin Katz Radio for sharing your thoughts on the album!

“The Véloniños have delivered an album that is hard to pigeon hole. It’s diverse, strong, very rewarding and will grow on you. It’s good, in fact it’s very good. Highly recommended!”

Thank you Rick at The Daily Record for sharing your thoughts on the album!

“Véloniños are masters of bringing those rockabilly songs back to life. Their debut album is out now and you’re going to want a copy.

Red Diesel Medicine would rip up any dance floor with some fiery Carl Perkins-style riffing.

The Véloniños are masters at work.”

Thank you Ralph at Ralph’s Life Indie Music Blog for sharing your thoughts on the album!

“For aficionado’s of the Americana scene, the Véloniños album’s a true classic, but that being said its appeal should cover the full spectrum with its blues, rockabilly, rock ‘n’ roll and just downright quality listening pleasure pedigree.”

Thank you Johnny at Hellacious Harmonies for sharing your thoughts on the album!

“It’s an eclectic mix of up-tempo well produced rockabilly and roots infused sonic delights. But, there are a couple of ballads on here that for me are thee standout tracks. Delivered with a heartfelt sincerity that can sometimes be lost in a studio setting. Véloniños are a class act.”

Ahead of our CD release next week, the BillyBop website in Belgium has given our previously released Digital EP a five-star review!

“Leading track “Hey Véloniño!” has a Latin feel, but on tunes like “Alabamaman” and “Levengrove Park” they deliver 100% fine American roots music with a distinct fifties scent. “Bully For You!” throws in the rockabilly sound we all do love so much. Authentic sounds that truly hits your speakers is something we all love and makes us dance in no time.”

Thanks loosehandlebars.wordpress.com for including us in your “New Music For 2015 – Glasgow Edition” post!

“Véloniños were formed in 2013 but the members have been around before. Davie Duncan (vocals, rhythm and er …moothie) and Kenny McLellan (guitar) were part of the Shakin’ Pyramids​ (1980-83) the Scottish rockabilly trio whose debut single was “Reeferbilly Boogie”, 1st LP “Skin ‘Em Up” …ahem. The pair have joined with old friends Laurie Cuffe (guitar) and Shug Jamieson (big bassman) and are playing music inspired by their early influences, Hank Williams, Gene Vincent, the Everly Brothers and others, playing it very well too. The available YouTube clips can lack the more electric charge of their recently released 6 track digital EP so I’ve included a sampler of all 6 tracks here. Over at www.veloninos.com you can learn all you need about the band, watch the videos and buy the EP.”
