More The Violets 




If the ominously angry punk vocal that dictates the urgency of ‘Foreo’ doesn’t grab your attention then the roughly strewn piercing guitars that are constantly simmering throughout surely will. Like a good old fashioned frenzied Friday night pub punch up, ‘Foreo’ explodes out of an empty pint glass and into dizzying shafts of light that spin around your head. The Violets are a four piece post punk bank with something to say and have the music to back it up. At the top of their jagged, uneasy and violently raw game, ‘Foreo’ is damn fine all round definitely marks them down as ones to watch.
