Drawing Inspiration from the three legged stool of Rock and Roll, Country and Western and Nuclear power, The Hinkley Veltones have emerged to present their leg fusion to the world at large. So make like the Fonz and Sit on it.
"The Hinkley Veltones were a big clanging bell, caught at the moment just before it cracks. Something like Clinic fronted by Hank Williams, everything reverb-ed into a sobbing submission, music you put on in order to light up a cigarette and calmly drive your car off a cliff. The fact that they looked like pissed-off geography teachers dragged out onto an awkward stag night just added to the heady mix. Brilliant. David Lynch should sign them up as his next house band."
The Rach III, Choke
"There's a menace lurking somewhere here underneath the surface that I can't quite fathom out that gives this otherwise pretty straight forward band an edge."
Del Day, Americana UK
"The Hinkley Veltones, all dressed in black and looking like the Avenging Angels of one of their songs, produced a very impressive set. They sounded like they'd listenened to a lot of Nick Cave, the lyrics were as gothic as anything by The Handsome Family and there was a country chiming guitar twang to it all. It was odd and it was also very dark, but it was also highly enjoyable."
Keith Clark, Bristol Evening Post
