This was the other sound of Sub Pop in the early 90s, the one less fan-worshipped, but to be honest, a lot more fun than grunge… We’re talking of course about venerated indie band Velocity Girl, and their 1993 debut Ultracopacetic, featuring the brilliant shoegaze jangle singles Crazy Town and Audrey’s Eyes. Long out of print, it’s finally being given fresh life, with what Sub Pop are describing as “an album’s worth of bonus tracks compiling singles, outtakes, and the band’s 1993 Peel Session”. - Flying Out


Velocity Girl formed in 1989 or so at the University of Maryland outside Washington DC, and shortly thereafter settled on the lasting lineup of guitarist Archie Moore (Black Tambourine), guitarist Brian Nelson (Black Tambourine), drummer Jim Spellman (Starry Eyes, Foxhall Stacks, High Back Chairs, Julie Ocean, Piper Club), bassist Kelly Riles (Starry Eyes), and singer Sarah Shannon (Starry Eyes, The Not Its). The band combined English-inspired noisy shoegaze fuzz with scrappy US indie rock and classic ‘60s-style pop songwriting. A killer single on Slumberland and non-stop touring grabbed the attention of the indie-rock cognoscenti of the day, and, following a heated courtship involving both dinner AND dessert, Velocity Girl signed a contract on a car hood in Hoboken, New Jersey, making Sub Pop their home.
