Some Velvet Morning release their new single ‘How to Start a Revolution” on April 16th through MyMajorCompany. The track was recorded, produced and mixed by SVM’s singer Des Lambert and mastered by Chris Potter (Verve / U2). The single is taken from their new album ‘Allies’, which is released on April 30th and will be available as a digital download. The three-piece comprises of brothers, Des Lambert (vocals / guitar), Gavin Lambert (Bass) and Rob Flanagan (Drums). The band moniker originates from the Lee Hazlewood / Nancy Sinatra classic song, ‘Some Velvet Morning’; in fact Sinatra gave them her nod of approval and was flattered when the band asked permission to use the name.
The single ‘How to Start a Revolution’, was heavily featured in the Matthew Vaughn’s 2010 blockbuster film Kick Ass. It’s a rousing track, with an instantly addictive sing-along chorus and is underpinned by a striking guitar, bass and energetic drums. SVM had to crack how to sell their records and are approaching this in a novel way, with MyMajorCompany, who operate via “crowd funding”, a new type of record label system, already successful in France, whereby fans are encouraged to invest in new artists, giving them a say in the future direction of the bands or singers. SVM needed £100,000 to make it work, and they amassed that sum in an astonishing two months. Now, MyMajorCompany have enough funds to launch the band properly.
