With a blend of lush distorted guitars, melodic vocals, and layered soundscapes, The Booda Velvets craft songs that are passionate and intelligent. Their music explores dynamics ranging from intense and visceral to dreamy and serene, with an undercurrent of pop sensibility that occasionally rises to the surface.

The Booda Velvets are known for delivering emotionally-charged performances that explore a diverse musical spectrum. "Our collective influences are all over the place, from folk and early punk to new wave and hip hop," explains lead singer Dan Cromie. "So our songs end up painting a broad musical spectrum. It lets us take our audience with us on more of an emotional journey than just going to see a rock show." Drawing upon varied roots, The Booda Velvets’ collaborative songwriting has evolved to create a unique sound that combines strong melodies, evocative lyrics, captivating guitars and solid grooves.

Music from the band's critically acclaimed album, Headrush, has been featured on the feature film "The Fog", MTV and NBC.  The Booda Velvets are also sponsored by Puma.com, a featured artist on Mp3.com and are endorsed by Seymour Duncan.

Lead singer Dan Cromie, Bassist Jamie Balling, and Drummer Jonathan Yang originally met at a college in Philadelphia, later moving to New York City, where they joined forces with Guitarist, Adam Wolfe Lerner to create their unique rock-based blend of atmospheric emotion.  The band has toured extensively throughtout the United States, and has shared billing with such notable acts as Elvis Costello, The Strokes and Dispatch.
