Chicago, IL based band Violets (with members of Naked Raygun, The Methadones, and Blood People) will release their debut EP on May 2, a self-titled 4-song effort that was recorded with Dan Precision of 88 Fingers Louie at Bombshelter Studios.
The lineup includes drummer Michael Soucy, guitarist Bill Stephens, guitarist Simon Lamb, bassist/vocalist Fritz Doreza, and vocalist/guitarist Aly Jados.
“It had become apparent that Naked Raygun wouldn’t be playing anymore, so a new band seemed like an interesting idea,” Stephens says. “Raygun had done quite a few shows with The Methadones so we were tight with those guys and of course loved the band. And I knew Fritz would be up for it as he was in a similar predicament with Raygun like myself.”
The EP will be self-released.
