SUPERSTARDOM OR JUST REGULAR PLAIN 'OL STARDOM? - KNAC's own Long Paul has some glowing praise for VELOCITY in his weekly column on UBL.com. Of VELOCITY's new 4-song demo (songs from the upcoming album "UNIVERSAL"), Long Paul writes: "The sledgehammer rhythms and searing vocals on this new disc not only update Velocity's sound but put them in line for stardom." Check out his full writeup here (Netscape users, please check out Long Paul's column on the UBL.com website directly...it's in the "Downloads"/"Hard Rock" columns section). Our thanks to Long Paul, and congratulations to KNAC.com for being Arbitron rated #1 (Rock) and #3 (overall) in the world in the latest survey of Internet radio ratings.
VELOCITY IN METAL EDGE MAGAZINE - Check out the very nice writeup on VELOCITY in METAL EDGE MAGAZINE's "ROCK ON THE RISE" section in the May, 2000 issue (pg. 50). Regarding VELOCITY's debut CD 'IMPACT', Metal Edge's Paul Gargano has this to say: "All the hard rock drive, racing melodies, and pulsing rhythms of arena rock at its finest. A decade ago, America took bands like Velocity for granted, but in the year 2000, good guitar-driven hard rock is hard to find." Pick up your copy of this souvenir edition of Metal Edge today!
