WHAT'S THE STORY? Liverpudlians jerk their groins and hook up with the cock rock revolution! 20 years too late, mind.
TO BE HONEST: The Black Velvets make rock music that's a one-way timewarp back to the mid-'80s, where appreciating its modified AC/DC riffery requires huge hair, crude lipstick and circulation-hampering trousers. Jon Bon would be proud.
LISTEN OUT FOR: 'You're Not Giving It All'. Stadium-sized balladry that sounds like Thunder (worrying) but with a punky holler (reassuring).
FOR: Air guitarists and cock rock revivalists.
