HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - eMusicWire -- VELLA LA VELLA brings serious heat to fans with the release of their new single, Blonde, Bad and Beautiful, and music video. Described as heavy metal rock with a satisfying dose of ripping chords and throbbing backbone beats, Blonde, Bad and Beautiful gets your blood pumping.

Formed in 2020 during the pandemic, VELLA LA VELLA began playing music in a Pontiac going through a Wendy's drive thru, exploding on social media when their pop-up performances took them and their heavy metal-ified Pontiac into the feeds of millions of online users.

The inspiration behind Blonde, Bad and Beautiful is a tangled mix of age-old sagas of love, sex and missed opportunities. "The song was inspired by a show we played at the University of Washington," said Symmes. "And I saw one of the most beautiful girls ever rockin' out in front. She was the one that got away."
