Velocity Girl
Velocity Girl was an American indie rock band formed in 1989 in College Park, Maryland. While much 1990s rock music featured an abrasive vocal and instrumental style, Velocity Girl’s later sound was melodic and typically featured “clean” (non-distorted) electric guitar sounds. Thus, the group’s music was closer to a “pop” than a “rock” aesthetic. Initially however, Velocity Girl was playing with their shoegaze influences and on their first seven inches on Slumberland and Merge, as well as their first Sub Pop album “Copacetic”.
