What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Mingus Rude feeling unmoved.

Violet Violet: ''Love This Band' (NROne) Rockin' girl band taking it's cue from Bikini Kill and Huggy Bear in the attitude stakes. Taking the boys on at their own game with two aggressive slices of thrasy rock with vocals to the fore.If they were boys I'd be tempted to dismiss them as pub rockers, in this case I'll pratonisingly accept them as an antidote to the usual dull fair.

What the label says:

Double A-side 7" yellow vinyl, CD single and download
A perfect pair of meaty, beaty slices of acerbic gossip rock bitchin' in yer face from Norwich's most feisty female trio. Violet Violet have the vehement support of Steve Lamacq, who won't stop spinning VV's witty ditties on Radio 1 and 6Music, and he interviewed the girls as his 'favourite new band' in August. In favour with Artrocker, Drowned in Sound, NME and Rocksound - not to mention notching up a tour with Brummie legends The Nightingales and a personal invitation to open for Blood Red Shoes. It's time to join Violet Violet's gossip rock, grrrl/boy revolution now!. "Thrilling guitar pop, Violet Violet sum up the real energy of the DIY-movement at present." - Steve Lamacq, Radio 1 "Something quite special (even if it is fabulously foul-mouthed)" - NME
"Headless-style femi-punk… producing what could be called Rrrriot-metal. Or Metal-grrrrl … Echoes of bands like Huggy Bear, Gertrude and Bikini Kill
litter proceedings: shouty vocals, angry 'bitchy' lyrics and big punk riffs" - (Artrocker)

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
