Once Upon A Leeds, 1981. The March Violets strum their first riff and scrawl their first set list. Their impressive post-punk legacy stretches from 1980s BBC John Peel Sessions, indie chart success Radiant Boys EP, Grooving in Green, Snake Dance and Turn to the Sky (featured in the John Hughes movies, Some Kind of Wonderful), all the way to the 21st century reunion, headlining festivals across Europe & the USA and storming Record Store Day 2021 with sell-out double album Big Soul Kiss.
And now, for the first time The March Violets are releasing their full back catalogue, with worldwide […]
The March Violets formed in 1981 by Tom Ashton, guitar, Laurence Elliot, bass, Simon Denbigh, vocals and Rosie Garland, vocals. John Peel booked them for a session before any records came out, then Andrew Eldritch of Sisters of Mercy issued their first two 7″ on his Merciful Release label in 1982.
In October 2022, the band announced a reunion for 2023/24 with Tom Ashton, Rosie Garland and William Faith planning gigs and further recordings, alongside a new website and Facebook page.
Support from Kristeen Young & Vision Video

The Tokyo, Japan based 4-piece instrumental rock band MONO was originally formed in 1999. Their unique approach of combining moving orchestral arrangements and shoegaze guitar noise is held in extremely high regard; so much so, that the band’s musicianship and the diverse musical palette has eclipsed the rock genre and exists within its own realm. As the NME once stated, “this is music for the Gods”.
Over the first decade, MONO rapidly established a well-acclaimed status, especially with their live performances. Through their annual world tour consisting of around 150 shows, visiting over 59 countries, both critics and fans of […]

“The whole point of this record was to share every emotion that I feel,” says The Soft Moon’s Luis Vasquez. “No two songs are the same. It’s about existing in the world as a human being and experiencing many emotions and experiences throughout life.”
And so hence the title Exister, a record rooted in the ecstatic joys and crippling lows that life can throw up and how just hanging on and existing is sometimes all we have. “Exister is my way of saying ‘I'm here, deal with it.’” Vasquez says.
The reason […]
