Female-Fronted Friday: Velcara

August 7, 2026 — Leave a comment

When: Formed earlier, circa 2024, but didn’t debut their first single until 2026

Where: New York, Maryland, Massachusetts

Genre: Modern metal/Metalcore

FFO: Spiritbox, I Prevail, Poppy

Velcara has existed in some form for a couple of years, yet they did not unleash their debut single, “Fury,” until January 2026. Since then, the band has released two more songs, “Green-Eyed Suicide” and “Lunacy.” The members are vocalist Janel Monique (formerly of Conquer Divide), drummer Luka Stinar, guitarist Nick Palma, and bassist Kenjamin Smiertelny.

Velcara are still writing, gearing up to share new music and eventually bring all their hard work to the stage! Check them out below and be sure to follow their socials so you don’t miss any updates!
