Under The Influence and Social presents, as part of Independent Venue Week 2025

Tougher, stronger & laden with exuberant new ideas, inimitable next-gen-yacht-rock 6-piece, CVC make a return by crash landing their orbiting vessel to earth with new single, The Lowrider.

Their 1st new music since the release of acclaimed 2023 debut album, Get Real, it sweeps in on a plump bed of warm bass synth, heavy chunks of Thriller-esque guitars and Bee Gee-tight vocal harmonies to bring a slick CVC back in rude, bossing form. Whilst stardust swirls around a gifted band flush with confidence & poised to escalate their honey-voiced, party-percolating profile, at the heart of CVC is an artistry as deep seated as any other.

When it comes to The Lowrider, it’s still all about matters of the heart, & “was written after a lengthy session in our old local about my long-distance lover & how we are ‘just about meant to be’! Then when we got home and hit the ‘bass’ setting on the synth – the rest of the song just poured out. It’s called ‘The Lowrider’ because we thought it’d be great to get Snoop Dogg involved with it at some point, cos it shares a lot of that that West Coast flavour!”

Taking care of the beat, the bop & the boogie, CVC have confounded critics at the same time as causing tremors at every point of Britain’s A-To-Z, by yielding fresh crops from seasoned seeds. A band that had Dr Dre, Hall and Oates & The Doobie Brothers doodled on their school notebooks in letters of equal height, the people they seek to please are the good timers.
