About Me

"Exploding like a hand grenade of riffs, noise and attitude, Trippin Violet are the rebirth of alternative rock!!!"
Formed in march 2007, Trippin Violet are three friends who met in Brighton. How or when have become irrelevant as none of them can remember. What was for certain is that they all shared a keen interest in punk and heavy rock…
"If we weren't so damn broke we'd get more tracks up and certainly re-record the old ones. We're tighter, we're heavier and we're a lot fucking louder now than ever before. All our experiences from old and past bands have been thrown together in this one and the only time you'll see the work done justice is when you come to watch us play, the tracks have been refined, and tweeked. We got many more that we want to get on a record that are stronger than what we've already recorded. Come to a show and see for yourself. And we promise, as soon as we can scrape together the cash a fully-fledged 7 track (at least. With some old songs discarded) EP will be brought out and made available. And it'll fucking Rock".
Fuck the overly safe generic pop shit that is everywhere in the uk.....
We're not fucking about.
Trippin Violet....This band wont quit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Reviews
"Musically they’re so tight it’s a wonder they’re not glued at the hip by the sound they make. Kirk battered that snare like a war drum, leading Danny’s pile driving riffs as they lashed the crowd with overdrive. Playing alternative rock, with hints of Alice In Chains, the three-piece roared and snarled with refined anger to create music that had teeth. But not just any old teeth – ooooh lordy no – they were like giant gnashers you could chew through a car door with."
SURFACE UNSIGNED FESTIVAL 2008 REVIEW
"So here is a band that lives, breathes, sleeps and eats rock and roll. You get the feeling of desperation (that adds depth and new meaning to a tired genre) and struggle and you feel like it has all paid off."
DAVID COUCHMAN
