Velour Fog’s latest single, “DOPEHEAD”, is a tour de force that firmly plants the band within the upper echelons of the British rock scene. As the UK’s fresh answer to the new wave of rock, this four-piece outfit from the outskirts of London dazzles with their second single, following the electrifying debut of “Black Babylon.” “DOPEHEAD” is an audacious blend of stone-cold riffs, tasteful licks, and rapid guitar shredding that demands attention.
The track’s foundation of almighty drums and big vocals creates a soundscape that is both invigorating and nostalgic, reminiscent of rock’s golden era yet undeniably modern. Co-produced by Jake Adams and the legendary Nick Tauber, whose pedigree includes work with icons like Thin Lizzy and Def Leppard, and mastered by the iconic John Davis at Metropolis, “DOPEHEAD” is a masterclass in rock music production. Velour Fog has delivered a head-banging anthem that resonates with both purists and newcomers to the genre, solidifying their status as torchbearers of rock’s next generation.
