The ever-changing Brisbane 10-15 piece Velociraptor are excited to announce the release of their self-titled debut full-length for August 15 via Dot Dash / Remote Control. The band have also shared the album's next single 'Sneakers' and announced a national tour.

The Velociraptor legends have spent the better half of their career explaining to audiences and the industry alike that they're more like a drunken version of The Avengers and that not every member will be at every show. They've got an EP floating around from 2010, Mini-LP from 2012 and now their full-length debut is about to impact the Earth in ways even more extreme than World War 3. Oh...you don't remember World War 3? That's because yo Raptor pals went back in time and made sure it never happened.

And here we are. It's 2014. The first single 'Ramona' let you know what's up. Now the second single 'Sneakers' confirms indeed what is up. That Velociraptor are back.

'Sneakers' is familiar Raptor flavours adorned with that thing people always want to hear in music - progression of sound. Dedicated to anybody who's ever worn sneakers. Yeah, you're a human. You understand heartbreak. You get that if you see someone you used to be with and still care about hanging out with another that it breaks your heart. But don't you worry. We all get through it in the same way.Velociraptor are with you. Feeling them feels on the D floor at a show near you.

You will have plenty of opportunity to do just that on the Velociraptor album tour which has been announced for August/September. Sometimes when the band post on Facebook people respond with "Come To Perth" and this time they are. So it's already the most comprehensive and expensive tour ever. Brisbane. Sydney. Melbourne. Adelaide. Perth. Gold Coast. Maybe you're regretting not posting on their page now, Hobart.

It's also the most comprehensive display of hits in a live environment because this time - Velociraptor are packing new hits. Taking the total tally of hits to a new level. It's Hit City. Andthey are Mayors. But for one special night they're giving you the keys to the city
