Velvet Strain Band

Bio

Velvet Strain are a thrash metal quartet that capture a sound very much unique and a style of their own. They are best known for their heavy hitting riffs, soaring melodies that reveal compelling themes which connect the audience with the music and faultless songwriting. Hailing from New Zealand the band is made up of Matthew Baxter (Rhythm Guitar) Liam Buckley (Bassist) Lockie Bennett (Lead Guitar) & Dean Clinton (Drummer)

During the early stages when guitarist/songwriter Matt Baxter met bassist/songwriter Liam Buckley at eleven years of age, it became clear right away that the two had something worthwhile after the first few jams together. They would regularly play and write material for the upcoming band until finding Dominic Daly to join the line-up as drummer. The band then officially started in 2013 & from there played under the name "Powerstation" performing as a trio until deciding to change their name to "Velvet Strain"

After months had passed with constant jamming the band then came across guitarist/songwriter Lockie Bennett when deciding to merge and preform a local gig together. The four then covered and created a medley which won them the best act and “Judges Personal Favorite” award on both nights. After such fun and success, the band decided to extend their line-up when Lockie was also interested in joining and becoming the Lead Guitarist of Velvet Strain.

As time went on the band was facing minor problems due to Dominic being unable to make it to numerous practices because of full time work issues. After a lot of thought Matt, Liam & Lockie made the decision on 6/10/14 that it was time for Dom to departure and go his own separate way.

The band then came across Dean Clinton who was interested in joining and taking Dom's place & on 12/10/14 he was announced as an official member of Velvet Strain after his trial jam a few days prior. Since then, they have had much interest but are yet to find the right vocalist and are doing their best to ensure that they will find the right person to match the position.
