History [link]

They soon signed to Virgin Records to release a full-length CD. In 2002, Velcra released their debut CD, Consequences of Disobedience. The singles "Can't Stop Fighting" and "My Law" helped the band rise to #5 on the Finnish charts. Velcra also released single CDs for the songs "Big Brother" and "Test Animals". In 2005, the band released their second full-length CD, Between Force and Fate, and the single "Our Will Against Their Will" hit #3 on the Finnish charts. Since then, the band has made two more music videos, one for "Memory Loss" and one for "The Bong Song". Between Force and Fate is unlike Consequences of Disobedience in that the band dropped the catchy pop choruses from their music altogether. This gives the album a much heavier sound, which is evident in songs such as "For My Loneliness I Pay". In June 2006, drummer Mikko Herranen left the band to focus on his other band RUST. On 30 May 2007 Velcra released their third album Hadal in Finland and on iTunes. Videos of "Quick and Dirty" and "Dusk Becomes a Dawn" were released in 2007. The latter song has also been released as a single. In early 2008 Tomi Koivusaari left and Timo Hänninen joined the band.

Quick And Dirty

by: Velcra

The devil made me do it
We were sitting around in a ghost town watching the paint dry
We were sitting around in a ghost town watching the paint dry
I said, I wanna play with the big boys
I said, I wanna play with big toys
Ahaa
You've got the cash
Well I've got a plan
You've got the right friends
And I've got a killer plan
Devil makes work for the idle dumbs
(I've got a plan)
Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up down to the very foundations!
Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up, do it quick and dirty!
Never too ritch
Never too thin
Never too young
And never ever perfect
I said, I wanna play with the big boys
I said, I wanna play with big toys
Devil makes work for the idle dumbs
(I've got a plan)
Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up down to the very foundations!
Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up, do it quick and dirty!
Devil makes work for the idle dumbs
Should have done it yourself
Cause you only made things worse
Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up down to the very foundations!
Let's make a bomb!
Let's blow the place up, do it quick and dirty!
