Velocity Girl occupied a particular sweet spot in the early shoegaze and indie pop moment, close enough to DC hardcore's DIY infrastructure to know how to self-organize, but pointed somewhere else entirely, toward melody, distortion, and heartache. While contemporaries like Swervedriver and Lush were getting the press, Velocity Girl were quietly making some of the most emotionally direct guitar pop of the era on a regional label that would eventually help define the sound.


Getting their start as the 1980s bled into the 90s, Velocity Girl arose from a new pop underground that had been percolating in Washington, DC and it's suburbs, a group of bands clustered around our then-nascent Slumberland Records who broadened DC's punk paradigm with an ear for pop songs and feedback-driven racket. Velocity Girl, blessed with multiple gifted songwriters, particularly knew how to merge euphoric pop hooks with waves of noisy bliss and lovelorn melancholy.This new compilation "1989-1992" covers the band's pre-Sub Pop years and shows that their skill with a tune was there from the beginning, across several line-up changes and numerous early releases. The all-time classic "Forgotten Favorite" is included, as is their debut single "I Don't Care If You Go," featuring original vocalist Bridget Cross (later of Unrest). There are also crucial split single and compilation contributions, a few choice covers (Beat Happening, The Jam) and even a pair of unreleased tunes.Newly remastered and featuring extensive liner notes by DC scene scholar John R. Davis, "1989-1992" is the comprehensive view of their early years that Velocity Girl has long deserved and their fans have long wanted.
