Violet Beauregarde

About Me

On a brief hiatus... watch this space

Violet Beauregarde are an exciting Birmingham-based four piece, with a strong reputation for songcraft and intense live performances throughout the Second City and the Midlands. They triumphed recently in Kerrang! Radio's 'Stafford Sessions' competition, and are spending 2007 going from strength to strength.

Their unique 'grunge-for-the-twenty-first-century" sound is raw but subtle, and tracks like cult classic "Cinnamon" from their well-received "Bitterest of the Best of Them" EP are already tearing the roof off venues, dancefloors and bedrooms throughout Birmingham.
