About[]
Some Velvet Morning are an English indie / alternative rock band consisting of Desmond Lambert (vocals, guitar), Rob Flanagan (drums) and Gavin Lambert (bass, vocals). Formed in 2000, they have released four albums: Silence Will Kill You, Allies, Musical Chairs and Rough Seas. The band garnered international attention when their track "How To Start A Revolution" was used in the trailer for Matthew Vaughn's Blockbuster Kick-Ass. Across four album releases, they have continued to build a series of film and TV placements for their music including Renault Megane, Haig Club Whisky, Pull & Bear and The Grand Tour. In 2020 the band wrote the soundtrack to Kat and the Band, a full length feature film starring Dougie Poynter and Ella Hunt.
2021 sees a reunion with Coldplay producer, Rik Simpson for the album Rough Seas.
