Accelerator Records – 2011
This is the new David Victor album released in 2011. Songs include an original power-ballad “Still The One” and an acoustic cover of the Boston hit “A Man I’ll Never Be”.
The tracks were produced and engineered by Anthony Mazza at his Valencia, CA studios in Spring 2011 and mastered by Neil Citron. The music was released via CD Baby and is available via iTunes, Rhapsody, Last.fm and Napster, among others.
The full length version of Strength Of Conviction is slated to include ten tracks total. New tracks include an unusual cover of the Kate Bush classic “Runnin’ Up That Hill” as well as two more original songs, “Strength Of Conviction” and “17th Summer”.
More new music will follow as quickly as David’s schedule permits.
Rockhard Music Media – 1997
This is the one that started the “riot”! IMPACT contains all the tunes that got a very respectable amount of airplay (especially for an indie release) in 1997 and 1998. Songs like the lead single “You Don’t Amaze Me Anymore“, the ballad “Janine” and the full crotch-rocker “Love Is Dangerous“. This album just sounds too good to play quietly…so play it LOUD.
David recorded this album largely in his home studio on ADATs and and his computer. IMPACT wound up selling over 12,000 copies worldwide, and the release still sells CDs and downloads consistently to this day.

Accelerator Records – 2001
ACTIVATOR was the second official Velocity album, albeit a 5-song EP. This album comprised the Portrait demo that Velocity did for Rock A&R legend John Kalodner in 2000, plus the addition of one track they didn’t hear “Alive“.
ACTIVATOR was viewed by many fans of IMPACT as somewhat of a departure from the 80s party-rock sound. However the album contains the same incendiary guitar playing as well as some excellent vocals and melodies, and the production is top-notch!
A must-have for fans of IMPACT and David Victor.
Bonobo Beat Records – 1991 (cassette-only release, very rare!), 1997 (re-mix, re-release)
After “Impact” made its splash, the labels asked David if he had anything else recorded, and the answer was this 1991′s “Proof Through The Night“, an album recorded on an analog 8-track machine that he no longer owned! The project forced David to re-purchase the same 8-track analog machine that he had recently sold so he could do a proper re-mix and re-master, as the original album was released on cassette only (remember those?)
Eventually David decided to re-record all the drums with drummer Todd Beaty, as well as touch up a few parts that had bothered him through the years.
“Proof Through The Night” features the lead single “Getaway Machine” which is a homage to the area David now calls home (Los Angeles, CA). Southern California vacations were a staple of his youth, and David wanted to write a song that told the story of those great midnight drives down the coast from Northern California where he grew up.
The album also features the moody title track “Proof Through The Night” as well as the evocative “American Eyes” and the Rick Springfield-esque “Summer Rules“. Not to be missed for fans of Rick Springfield, John Waite and Lou Gramm.
