Velociraptor are a high-energy garage rock band from Brisbane, Australia, known for their explosive live shows and infectious, hook-driven sound. Formed in the early 2010s, the group quickly made a name for themselves as one of Australia’s most dynamic and chaotic rock collectives — often performing with more than ten members on stage, creating a wall of guitars, harmonies, and crowd-fueled energy. Their breakout came with the self-titled debut Velociraptor (2014), featuring the singles “Ramona” and “Sneakers,” which captured their blend of punk edge and melodic pop sensibility. Over time, they became staples of the Australian indie scene, sharing stages with acts like Violent Soho and Radio Birdman. After several years away from the spotlight, Velociraptor returned in 2024 with their album Computer Future, hailed as their most ambitious project to date. Singles like “Drag Me Under,” “Leaving Hollywood,” and “Timebong” showcase the band’s signature mix of anthemic choruses, fuzzy guitars, and playful lyrical themes. Their sound — part nostalgia, part evolution — keeps the spirit of garage rock alive while injecting modern flair and humor. Velociraptor remain a cornerstone of Brisbane’s rock community, balancing tongue-in-cheek charisma with unfiltered passion and musicianship.
