Hard, yet approachable rock band Violent Soho have been making waves in their home down under of Mansfield, Australia for the past year. Having opened for such acts like Dinosaur Jr, The Dead Weather, Band of Skulls, in addition to playing the renowned UK Download Festival – Violent Soho are ready for the new year. Recently signed onto Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace Records and moving to Brooklyn, NY, the band will take hold of the states like none other with a new album due out this March and a winter tour showcasing their utterly raw talent, unfazed by any elaborate tour tricks or light shows.
You can catch a glimpse of what to expect at a live performance from Violent Soho by watching this video from their October show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg or download their first single, the 90s angsty anthem “Son of Sam”.
