The Violets formed on a car bonnet at Elephant & Castle during the last longhotsummer. They are fuel-led racers, driving to a rose stained shutter. Stealer of time, driver of life. They prowl and jitter the stage with menace, grace, chemistry and fragility. Look no further, the best in punk-delicate.
