Pre-Teen Symphonies

Pre-Teen Symphonies

When Rhode Islandâ€™s Velvet Crush appeared on the scene in the early 1990s, they were obviously a force to be reckoned with. Signing with Englandâ€™s Creation Records (Oasis, My Bloody Valentine, Teenage Fanclub), they released their debut LP in 1991. But, it was 1994â€™s Teenage Symphonies To God (the title being a play on Brian Wilsonâ€™s description for what would become SMiLE) that put them on the map. Co-produced by the legendary Mitch Easter, it opened Americaâ€™s eyes to what those over the pond were so wild about. But, what was the genesis of that record? Find out with Pre-Teen Symphonies, a collection of 16 previously unissued tracks from Velvet Crush. 8 demos (including one for the classic single â€œHold Me Upâ€) and 8 tracks recorded live in 1994 at Cabaret Metro in Chicago. As the band proved the past was the future by taking elements from classic â€™60s melodies, â€™70s power pop, and â€™80s reinvention, Pre-Teen Symphonies is a unique look into the development of a classic, and the live power that drove it.
