The best kept secret in music

crushing velvet alternates a commercial pop sound with a darker, groove oriented side. There is a sense of drama and dynamics that is refreshing in today's sterile pop music scene. Look for great things from this band! - Live in LA
Crushing Velvet has landed songs on TV's "Buffy the Vampire Salyer", "Third Watch" and "Dawson's Creek." Now, the band has released its own CD, featuring Chyanna's light but entrancing vocals and Tom Diekmeier's crunch-pop guitar and keyboard instrumentation.
"Crush" is a strong recording for an independent band, with a good mix of slow-building anthems and upbeat rock songs. Fans of femme-fronted bands that spend more time setting moods than trying to pen three-minute pop hits will enjoy this disc. - John Everson, Music Critic
Crushing Velvet has a scary underground pop sound with music that is downright incredible. They move from aggressive beats to a trip-hop daze with ease, flowing from style-to-style and attitude-to-attitude skillfully. Plus, it doesn't hurt that vocalist Chyanna purrs with unbridled sensuality. - Orange Crush
