These are the reasons why you should buy (or not buy) our album, released today:

Get it here, or in the shops or on itunes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The Violets signal the death of disco-punk - 9/10 - VICE

An inimitable cacophany of noise and melody - i-D

The Violets bring some much needed zip and style to the London music scene. This should catch the ear of those looking to inject a bit of life into their record collections.. - ***1/2 - The Sun

Not cool - NME

A refreshingly unorthodox debut, a dark unpredictability infects these feverish songs - 3/5 - Metro

A band capable of transcending any genre, barrier or influence. - Artrocker

A gratifying edginess - 7/10 - Rock Sound

Juicy musical filth - Disorder

Mallet fingered - The Guardian

Energetic and addictive guitar pop. Truly promising - 3.5/5 - The Fly

Better than most punk laydees attempts from the '70s.
A masterclass in gnarly girl rock. - Daily Star

An articulate, solid debut that holds your attention from start to finish - Clash

Classic underground art-punk - 8/10 - Loud & Quiet

I tend to avoid anything that gets praise from Vice, but in this case I'll make an exception. "Mallet fingered" is a brilliant description. I'm not really sure what it means though.... :/

Just got the album today and went to put it on my ipod but once it started playing on my computer I couldn't bring myself to press stop. Its fantastic and I mean that genuinely in the least arse-kissy way possible; I enjoy your music but I was not expecting the album to be quite as good as it is! If I owned a hat I would be tipping it to you.

p.s. come back to Leeds soon - brudenel this summer was great but you weren't on for long enough!
